If you can get it for 2500 and fix it well you could easily double the value of the truck if everything else is in good condition. A nice looking 4x4 7.3 obs goes for at least 7g

Eh, I wouldn't sell my grandfathers truck at all, but then again, I don't sell a lot of trucks I get.

All ford diesels after 94.5 were a powerstroke with turbo

He said '97.

Come to think about it more, I'm also not a fan of an 1100lb motor over top of a Dana 50 TTB.

I'd get it, fix it, and sell it. Double your money without a problem.
