So back in February I bought from a friend a '93 F250 w/7.3idi n/a, for $600. It was an ext. cab, auto, 4x4, 260k miles, but ran like a champ, sounded awesome, and I loved it to death. It did have a BUNCH of body rust, fender rot, cab corners shot, paint looked like crap, but I loved it anyways. It needed some work, but I was willing and ready. However, in June, a huge family emergency came up, I was strapped for cash, had to travel back and forth by plane, and airfare, lodging gas and everything killed me and in desperation, I SOLD my idi!! I was so bogged for money, I sold it off to some kid for $1400 and luckily made a little profit as I only had probably $300 into it. But now everything is over and I'm back on track (although still broke) that sale is sinking in. At first, I was frustrated with the truck, so selling it didn't bother me...Much. But now, I think back, and I had negotiated an amazing deal with a member here for a COMPLETE mint turbo kit for it I was saving for, I had a set of new fenders and a bed for dirt cheap I was set to pick up THAT weekend for it. I can't believe what I did, and now, of course I want another one, but coming across these things is like getting something for free from the ghandi-mart. I've search hi and low, and of course can't find ANY deal like I got, but I don't expect that, I at least figured I could find one for $1000-$1500, as I really hardly even have that to spend on another one. Plus I'm kinda picky as I really only like '92+ bodystyles, but at this point, i'd settle for any 7.3 and I'll just swap the nose! a powerstroke is out of the question, those sell for $7000+ here with over 300k miles and rotted out, but honestly, i'd pay more for an idi becuase of the simplicity and dependability alone. I can't find another one anywhere, and I'm so dissappointed. 
Any one have any idea of a good place to look (other than craigs) for another one cheap? My g/f is getting pissed because I spend every minute home on craigs searching my area, and my boss is pissed because I spend every minute at work surfin craigs too, but I haven't had a bit of luck, or everything is not quite want a want. I thought a '90+ 7.3idi turbo, 4x4 auto wouldn't be that hard to find, but it's proving otherwise. Have any of you guys seen any lately on your local craigs in your area, heard of any, know of any, ESPECIALLY in the new england area. At this point, i'd even have one shipped here, as i'm searching ebay and everywhere else, hahaha. Pleaseeee let me know if you guys know of any, or another place to search I'm not thinking of here I could find a decent cheap idi, at this point, i dont even care about body rust and paint. 
Thanks guys!

but now I can't manage a clutch for a long period of time, so it's Auto's Only for me, which makes this search that much harder! But thanks for the offer!
