A Ford 350 rides like a rock. A very heavy duty vehicle, suitable for towing large loads. But for an around town ride, its going to be a pain. Hard to park, big, poor visibility of cars because it is so high, and very nasty ride. Plus it sucks fuel. Look for 10-11 mpg.

Sell it to someone with a big camper or boat that needs a low mileage, if not rough looking, tow vehicle.

Bottom line is it is still a 20 year old truck, and even with low mileage, is still 20 years old. Best off cleaning it up and selling it. And as fuel prices rise yet again, its going to be a hard sell.
