Cool Buying F-350 with 300000k miles, hahahahaha

I'm buying a 2000 F-350 four door 7.3l td non dually with 300000k miles on it. It's the 6 speed manual as well. Someone convince me not to.

Something to keep in mind,
that many miles with a vehicle well maintained and highway miles probably has a lot of good service left. On the other hand if it was run to death, received only break-down maintenance, the 7.3 was tough, but it can't run forever. Well , I think you get the picture.

I'm buying it mostly as a project, I've owned 3 7.3l in the past, this one is gonna be an all around off-road toy.

Thumbs up

Any service/repair history with it?

If it starts up quick, idles smooth on start more so cold, runs strong, good power down low and into carpet with no excessive visuals from behind, large oil bleeds, chances are you'd have the same issues any higher mileage mill would encounter.

Any images?

The test drives were smooth, it was rebuilt with new injectors 45k miles ago, the clutch has 30k miles on it. It has ran nothing but 15w-40. Only thing I don't like is it's all road miles, it's never towed or hauled. I only had one owner and it was a daily driver from McHenry il to Chicago il.
No images, it's still at the dealership right now. I'll post them if I buy the truck.
