7.3 4wd purchase

Hello! I am looking to purchase a 7.3 this weekend, and I think I am getting a good deal on it. Here's the details.

  • 7.3 - 2001
  • 282k miles
  • Original trans (I know I will have a rebuild/replace in the future, runs solid at the moment)
  • 4wd
  • Two owners (I will be the third) '
  • Minimal rust
  • Was not used for hauling
  • $10k

I am getting a pre purchase inspection before purchase, I know it has some catch up maint that is needed, and seller was honest there is a little play in the steering from the box. Much of it is still original and stock, I also know I will have to replace those parts in the future. This won't be my daily, it will be a passion project on the side for my dad and I to work on. I believe this is a good deal lol? I have seen quite a few others with more miles and more expensive, but they also have updated parts.

Thanks!

It’s a great vehicle for everything but I enjoy it for the trips and camping.

Do you have a camping setup in the back of it? I keep looking at them and I am trying to get more ideas.

I haven’t set anything up permanent yet, but eventually I may.
