Which powerstroke?
Before I say anything, I just want you to know I have not been able to test drive either of these trucks because I want some info and opinions before I use all the fuel to go down there.
Here is what I have found so far.
A 94 Crew cab long bed Single wheel F350 Ford Diesel with 263,XXX on the clock at $5000 OBO.
Pros:
Arrow Straight body
4WD Manual
Clean title
Just completely serviced and inspected
A/C,Heater, Radio, Lights etc. all work
Gooseneck hitch recently installed
Cons:
The fuel tank's "Showerhead" is seperating from the fuel pickup
Cruise control does not work
Back right window will not roll up or down unless done by hand
Mods:
Full replacement pipe bumpers
3.55 LS rear axle
Single-mass flywheel upgrade
Lockout hubs in the front
EGT & Boost guages
Upgraded stereo
I also found a 95 Ford dually Crew cab for $3500 OBO Ad does not say how many miles on it.
Pros:
Clean title
A/C,Heater, Radio, Lights etc. all work
Engine is bone stock and never been messed with.
4Wd Manual
Aftermarket exhaust
New fuel tanks
Cons:
Body is a little beat up
Interior has quite a few carpet stains
I was thinking of doing all the mods and then some that were on the dark green one on the white one, so which seems like a better buy to yall? Would it be better to buy the green one because alot of the mods have already been done? Is either one of these year models more tedious or problematic than the other? Any and all ideas, opinions, and questions are appreciated. Thanks in advance, Bombers!!

The green one is powerstroke.
I know the dually is rough, but I am more of a function over form guy. The green one's "Showerhead" issue kinda concerns me, because he said that when it hits a 1/4 of a tank, it starts sucking in air. That could get expensive if it gets air in the fuel lines too many times. About a week ago, I did find another dually 100 percent identical to the dually with about a quarter mil. on the clock and a brand new white paintjob for $4,000. Sold!
About 2 months ago (Sold now), I did see a just painted oil slick black 96 Powerstroke 4wd manual crew cab Ford dually with 195,XXX on the clock with brand new Alcoa rims for $3700 and it sold 2 days later!
I see trucks simialer to the white one all the time. Thanks for your opinion! Anyone else?

I do like the green one alot, but I wonder if it's too high for me to tow anything. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE lifted trucks! It is a nice truck and looks MEAN, but I wonder if it too high to be practical for hauling our horses every couple of months. I could always take off the lift kit and get a slightly smaller one. HMMMMMMMM.........
