Been looking for a light duty dump truck for a while and haven't had much luck (either complete POS or too much $$$)
I found this: 1997 Ford F350, 4x4, 7.3l Powerstroke, 102k miles, looks to be pretty clean for a work truck What do you think it's worth? I'll say the asking price once I get a few replies (I think it's a good deal based upon what I have seen).          |

Probably doesn't have a turbo so its gonna be kinda slow to make power. Other then that its worth what ever you can get it for maybe 7-8k

All powerstrokes are turbocharged going all the way back to 93 or so

I'd say 6500-7500 just because i know those motors will last well into the 200-300k range if they are properly cared for. Read up on the factory dual mass flywheel issues. Those models had issues on the manual trannys that can be fixed.
Eta- I say 6500-7500 just because i see a truck with a dump bed and that tells me it may have been worked fairly hard.

I would say about 9k in this area.

It's worth more than you'd expect because of the mileage and 7.3 which fetches a premium because of the later model POS 6.oh no's much deserved reputation for incurring massive repair costs and downtime. It's sad but the 7.3 is the last ford diesel a business can trust short of dropping $40k+ on the yet unproven 6.7
Clean low mileage 7.3 superduty trucks are SELLING for north of $15k readily right now. |

If I really wanted/needed that vehicle I'd give 10-12k. Not a lot of money for a low mile powerstroke 1 ton 4x4 with a dump box. Not a fan of the manual tranny or red interior (personal choice). In my area that would be a desirable piece with a bale bed on it.

seller is asking $7200 in a very poorly worded CL ad that just said "dump truck for sale this is a good working dump truck diesel 102 miles I"m asking 7,200 obo" with no pics or any other info.
the 7.3 PSD's command a premium everywhere even more so the sub 150k ones if it was an auto I would be driving the truck home already and yes the red interior is ugly but it will be a work truck |

GM also used the dual mass flywheels........they are destined to early failure.I replaced mine with a South Bend complete unit and it was a $1400 fix. |

LOL! I didn't even realize it was in CO until after I posted. I do have new bale bed laying out there but have WAY to many projects as it is. If it was local I'd be all over it. Good luck to the OP. |

Looks very clean
I can only go by my area but I would say no more then 8k. The dump bed looks very nice provided everything works. I got my 97 CCSB for 9k with 150k on it |

9-10k. It is a 7.3 turbo, FO! You will not beat this truck. Might not get great mileage but with regular maintenance it wont die, EVER,

7.3 1 ton with a manual. Yeah. You should get it.

yup, buy that. 7.3 dumps around here fetch $8500 with ease.

I've had 2 7.3's in my life. A 1990 (IDI) with a ZF-5 and a 1996 (PSD) also with a ZF-5. I honestly think the ZF-5's are the best transmissions Ford ever put in a truck…period. Now, I'll take a NV-4500 over a ZF-5 any day of the week. The ZF-5 doesn't shift right when the clutch goes out, the NV-4500 does.
However, being a Ford (and the fact I've owned or been issued 7 in 6 years) I'd only offer about $5000 for it. |

You can probably get the truck for close to $6k, which is certainly not a bad price. I wouldn't even blink at the manual shifter, and it wouldn't make a difference to me either way which trans the truck had. I'd love to have a 1-ton dump, but need one with 4wd. Friend of mine has a '98 GMC 3500 4-door 4WD with a dump bed, and it is extremely useful. Only problem is, its a 454 and absolutely drinks fuel...probably gets under 10mpg.

Picked it up yesterday for $6500. Just starting to go through it and made sure everything is the way it should be, and it never is. So far I have found a blocked rear diff vent causing it pressurize and piss oil, chassis needed a good greasing, tires were low on air, might have a leaky front axle seal, need to change tranny fluid to see if it will fix a very slight grinding issue that happens occasionally other than that it runs and drives fine.
