Prices On 90's Ford Trucks Are Through The Roof !

This one I saw recently, can't find it now...

And that one is selling close to me. Freaking HUUUUGE in person:

I've owned this truck for 35 years, and I still haven't figured it out. Perhaps someone here can help me..... What the hell is a, "Side Window Demister"? (Upper left, right hand column).
 
Well, I have a 1993 E350 bus body, single rear axle, 5.8L with only 78K miles that I want to get rid of. Runs and drives as it should. I built it into a camper. Has bunks, sink, table, stove. No toilet or shower. Good tires.

A/C not working and has a coolant leak that I can't seem to find. I did replace the water pump that was leaking a few years ago. Did I get it sealed back up? I don't know.

What's it worth?
 
Not just Ford trucks but vehicles from that era are some of the best built you've ever seen. They have fuel injection and many have electronically controlled transmissions, but are still low in HP and weight and don't self-destruct. They don't have OBD-II, they don't have too many electronic doodads that fault out and fail state inspections.

Mine, still going strong. Just had to re-cap the engine computer.
 
I just sold my 1995 F-150 for $2500. She didn't look pretty but runs well and I have redone the AC and has brand new Michelins. ONLY reason I sold it is because I picked up that 2018 F-250 and I have no need for two trucks. I sold the truck to my friend for his son who had been begging me to buy it for the last 6 months.
 
My son got an 89 extended cab 4x4 last year for 1500 bucks. He had to drive several hours to get it and rolled the dice since it was dark by then, but he’s been daily driving it ever since. My other son who follows such things says it would have been at least 5k closer to the metro area.
 
1991 was the last year Ford had R-12 refrigerant. They changed it over to R-134 in 1992. I'm still running the original compressor, and my air still blows ice cold. But when it takes a dump I might be cheaper off to convert the whole system to R-134. R-12 is running around $100.00 a pound.... Assuming you can find it.

I remember when I bought mine, there was a 1992 F-250, Crew Cab, Long Bed, 4WD, Diesel Dually sitting right next to it. The sticker was $27,000 and change. I just couldn't imagine spending that on a truck.

Just driving a couple hours any direction from KC tractors/trucks drop quite a bit. Planning on doing the same. There’s a truck I’m eyeballing in Lebanon but thats a drive.
 
It's called market manipulation. We are at a point where it's been going on so long that prices are way up there. When an individual wants to sell his vehicle the first thing he does is look at marketplaces to see what everyone else has them priced at. When you see all the nonsense that has been posted you add fuel to the fire by also posting yours at a high price. Used car dealers started this a long time ago.
