I have a hard decision to make
My concern with a hand operated clutch... Both hands would be off the wheel! Unless you integrate the lever into the shifter? That would actually be kind of awesome. Best of luck with your foot!- yowen

Lol as much as I like San Francisco, I can't drive a truck all the way from there to here! Although it may be closer to the rabbi-beater in Texas LOL!- yowen

The 6.8, 10 cylinder engine, good, bad, ugly
Yeah a guy here at work says, "My dad has one, it gets the same mileage, loaded, unloaded, city or highway". So at least its consistent? So if it'll be used for heavy towing, I think it'd be an excellent choice. I guess that's exactly it! What will they be using it for?- yowen

Yeah, I am looking to get the truck I'll have for a long time. I do not need a truck quickly at all, I need to find the "the one" that I'll keep for 10-20 years. The more I think about this just isn't the one for me. Like I said, all this **** went wrong when I tried to buy because something is...- yowen

I found that fact out when I compared this truck to another on craigslist and did the math of what it needed that the one on craigslist doesn't. It's quite shocking how a $100 here and $250 there and another $50 here will add up VERY quickly. Much quicker than just spending more on your truck.- yowen

Yeah thats all I could think of, either way I am just not happy at all with the seller or the truck at this point in time. I was excited to hit the ground running on this one and get the major things fixed, I am not anymore. I got a better look at the mess of wiring under the dash, the fuel...- yowen

Yeah, it might not be that bad, I'm just at the end of my rope here with this thing. I could spend $1000 more and have $1000 less in problems to fix. Also it seems the airtube coming from the air cleaner on top of the engine is missing, would this cause any problems?- yowen

Thank you everyone for weighing in on this! I am leaning towards walking away from this one. Too many unknowns and odd things going on. The guys sheer lack of getting ready to sell this thing to me really bothers me, I gave him almost a week for me to go pick it up. He didn't even bother to...- yowen

Sorry, I'll elaborate a little: It was an 1993 F350 crew cab with ZF5 manual, 313,000 miles and I was ready to pay $1100 for it. It is almost completely rust free, but does have dents/dings and the interior isn't the greatest. I am inclined to get back into the budget I was originally looking...- yowen

My money, my girlfriend and I went to go get the F350 I've been talking about, I even put it in my signature! As I thought it was a done deal. I let the seller know a week in advance I'd be picking it up this Saturday. Here's what happened: -He texted me on friday that he needed more time...- yowen

Head gasket question
ah man! That sucks, just read the whole thread. I am 25 now and I am still not looking forward to telling my dad tonight that I am picking up a 1993 F350 on Saturday... I definitely know what it's like to have a dad make up his mind and that's IT! Tough to argue when it's his garage that'll...- yowen

Missed the big moment
lol the truck I just got has 313,000! I can't quite claim it as a pride thing yet (I am of course very proud of the truck!), as I've not put any worth-mentioning miles on it yet. I guess for me its waiting for 333,333 or 350,000...- yowen
