Which diesel should I get?

[Joe0816]

Ok, im new to powerstrokes and I want one. I have alwayd loved the 1995-97 f250 7.3L but I can't find a decent one 5300 is the max of what I can spend, cash. Any suggestions? I'm open to any but would hate to get a cummins or a duramax. Needs to be 4x4, preferably stick, and extended cab.

Some rust doesn't bother me since I can fix it or take it to my auto body class and get extra credit.

Sounds like you know what you want. I would definately stick with the 7.3. Just keep looking and you should find one in your price range. It took me a few years to find my Excursion.
