**PRICE DROP for Rare/Loaded/low miles, pristine OBS 1996 Ford F-350 XLT Luxury, Dually, Crew Cab, long bed - The kind of truck people fly across the country for.... The kind of truck people fly across the country for.
I'm dropping the price to move more quickly on my next project. - Make me your best offers, and I'll do my best to work with them.
Impossible to find in this condition with this many perks. If you're searching for a clean, highly original, collector/enthusiast-quality OBS, this is it.
This truck was always garage-kept, extremely well-maintained, and owned by mechanics before me. Officially a collector’s item, I purchased it as an investment and had every remaining major update professionally done. I have all major paper work including from previous owners.
It's of course a workhorse that will outlast any new truck, or reliably get you through the apocalypse if that's what you're looking for :), but even more than that, it's a valuable, nostalgic collectors item that will hold its value. Show it off in parades and road trips or use it for heavy duty work.

Pristine interior original upholstery
Beautiful exterior factory paint
Starts, runs, and drives flawlessly with most age related major repairs already done
Flaws:
-4 Paint scuffs inside the truck bed (back of cab) from camper contact points. See image. If I don't have them re-painted by the time you pick it up, I will take a few hundred off the price.
Small dirt stain behind driver side (should lift with a deep clean)
Neither affects value - I disclose them for transparency.
⭐ $27K+ IN UPGRADES. Seriously.
This is what sets this truck FAR apart from typical listings:

💰 PRICE - $29,900 - Trucks like these sell on specialty sites like Dyler, Fourbie Exchange and even Ebay for $40,000 ++.
I'm not desperate for low-balls. That being said, I am eager to start my next project, and will entertain all serious and reasonable offers. Send me your best offer and I'll work with you how I can.
WILL ALSO CONSIDER TRADE for LAND - but must be mostly flat, buildable, Unrestricted / Open Use zoning within 20 min of Asheville, NC.
This thing will outlast any new truck. Given the condition, rarity, low miles, and roughly $27K in extras and upgrades, the price is fair. Comparable Trucks sell for $45K+
