I recently flew to TX and bought a 1 owner 7.3. I did a lot of searching because I wanted a long bed, extended cab and a strait drive 6spd. I saved close to $3k compared to what I could find here in NC. This is the second one I've owned, the first being an automatic. I replaced the auto at around 250k miles, don't remember the cost but over $2500 iirc. The old 7.3 is a great reliable motor, just find one that has not been modified and it should last for 400k miles with little issue.
Just a heads up on that one. My brother has a truck just like that and at 100000 miles he thought the clutch was slipping and he replaced it only to find out that wasn't the problem. These trucks have what is called a "Dual Mass Flywheel" which is a two part flywheel and that had gone bad on his truck and was slipping. So, if you ever think you need a clutch check the flywheel while you have the transmission out to save yourself some money.
