I'm a new owner of a 1993 ford f350. It has 267k on it. Did I make a bad purchase?

I've tried loading pics but cant get them to upload. the body is in pretty good condition it has a very small amount of rust which is good because I live in Indiana and they love to salt the roads. Its a crew cab and it has leather seats. The driver seat is ripped a little but that's ok I was just wondering if the miles are too high for the price.

Welcome!
Here's the picture tutorial.

Putting your truck info in your signature is very helpful especially when you ask questions about it. As to did you pay too much or make a bad purchase, it depends on what you paid for it and running condition etc.. These trucks are good for a bunch of miles with the right upkeep. Parts are still relatively plentiful and cheap so if you are reasonably handy and the you have a good starting place, reliability can be had fairly cheap.
Good luck.

thank you. it runs great and I paid 3500 for it. the guy that I bought it from had every documentation on all of the upkeep and work that has been done on the truck
the price was too high in my opinion.
BUT if its in great condition, and runs good, how can you argue for 3500?
is it 4wd or DRW?
leather seats rock!
you have found yourself on the best site on the internet for IDI's

i suggest you read them.
start with the last page tho.
you will become familiar with the truck in no time flat.

Truck Still Earns its Keep
Kalifornia clouds your perspective
Not seeing much more about your truck and not really knowing its condition $3500 could be right.
People ask $1500-7000 for these trucks in Indiana. If you've got 4x4 5speed and a decent body on it you're not doing bad.

be that as it may, i have less than 500 into the 5 i have had lately
2 of which were crew cabs
(only 1 was a runner

its just a 2wd dually like I said before it runs great I was just trying to see if that was around the average price. Other than the rip in the driver seat and the tiny rust on the passenger fender its in great shape. I'm still trying to get it to upload pics but my internet is acting up
