Like said below, I"d be careful. 03 was the first year of the 6.0 and they had tons of trouble, turbo issues, big time injector issues that could lead to big time motor issues, I think they also had problems with head bolts if I remember right.. In 03 Ford still offered the 7.3, I"d find one of those, night and day difference.
I have two 7.3"s, love the power and milage. Both are pushing 200,000 miles with no major motor work done to them. Replacing water pumps around 150 and glow plugs around the same time was the only thing we"ve done to them other than maintanance.
Brother in law bought an 03 1 ton straight axle straight cab new. He ordered the truck and could"ve had the 6.0 or the 7.3. Salesman talked him into the 6.0. Said more HP, more torque, better mpg. He didn"t really need a 1 ton or a diesel, just young and had some money to burn. He bragged it up pretty big at first, how it made mine look sick and all. Funny thing was at least one of ours is always pulling something, the most he ever pulled was his 4 wheeler on a little trailer. His was a nice driving truck with good power. He drove it up to 40,000 and traded it for an 03 F150 crew cab and took a big kick in the shorts. The thing was always in the dealership with motor problems.
He did claim to get around 18-19 mpg normal driving with his, that was when it wasn`t missing with an injector out. :)

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
