Cutty, thanks for the input. Would I need to worry about autos in the 97s or can I just assume normal wear and tear issues with them? I have been scanning Ebay like a hound and once I have cash in hand I am hoping to pick up a local auto trader so that I can get out there and kick some tires. Decided to look from 87 to 01 7.3, 4x4, 4 door and long bed. Figure up to 200k since those often allow big price decreases and some of them have recently replaced trannies. I would of course verify that before buying anything though. Manual would be fine with me but they seem harder to come by. |

Uhaul has decent motorcycle trailers. I use one of those, some canyon dancers and 3-4 tie downs to secure Bikey. They're $15/day. Had that bitch up to 80 and it was stable as hell.

I have a Chevy 2500 with an 8 ft. bed. I did buy the 3 piece ramps and a Condor MC stand.
http://www.bikersfriend.com/pages/stand.htm Basically you can put the Condor in the bed of the truck and use one strap to tie it down. When you get where you are going-Put the Condor on the ground and drive into it. Great MC stand. Well worth the money. |

I gave the truck to my mother, but this is how I used to do it. Add a wheel chock and a Canyon Dancer, and that bugger ain't going nowhere:

97 was ok... but not great. FYI you won't find a 98 F250 w/a diesel. that year they only made a "light duty" 3/4 ton, basically a heavy duty half ton. Stay away! again... 87-93 is gonna be a non-turbo engine... ie doggy as hell. I would suggest looking 94-02. One thing to remember though. Diesels have a higher routine maintenance cost. 18ish quarts of oil per oil change adds up. ![]() Good luck! ![]() |
