Question Looking for trucks! Opinions please!

I have a 1995 f250 in mind. It is great and what i want but i want opninons. IT has 89000 miles on it and that concerns me for a truck old as a 95. But the owner told me it was used for a lot of construction towing and farm towing. It has a 7.3 powerstroke. I believe 4 on the floor with o/d. And 4x4. Box is rusted out from tool boxes but i plan on putting a flat bed on anyways. Any opinions on it? Thanks!

I sold my 1999 F-250 7.3 SUPER-CAB LONG-BED with 141,000 miles, to buy a NEW 2008 F-250 6.4 Wish I had my 7.3, cause I put any fuel or additives. Very reliable

Yeah the 6.4s aren't what they're cracked up to be. I mean 8mpgs?? But I plan on changing to banks turbo fins immediately. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks

If it does have that low of miles on it, if you can get it for a reasonable price sounds like a good deal.
