Hello All.
Quick question for those who have some experience with these.
Local dealer has a 1989 Ford F-350 with the 7.3 liter diesel in it, 5 speed transmission, and 4 wheel drive. Mileage is unknown, since the odometer has rolled over already. Looks like it will need brakes, tires, and perhaps shocks. Not rusty, just a little bit in the wheel wells.
So my question is, should I even bother looking at this guy? Are there any common failures or faults? Anything to definitely avoid?
I have been thinking that I would like to run a WVO conversion from someplace like greasecar, and this seems like it could be a good opportunity.
I just wanted to get some input to know if I should look into it more, or start running the other way.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
