My old truck is giving up the ghost and I have started looking for a new/used rig. Went to look at a 2000 f350 yesterday. 172,000 miles, PS Diesel, Lariat, extremely clean outside, normal wear inside. Owner has every maintenance record, oil changed religiously at 3-4000 mile intervals. Asking price is below blue book. I know the diesels go a long way, but how many more miles can I expect this to give relatively reliable service. Now the biggest concern. In the bed is a "retractable" fifth wheel plate/hitch. Truck has a cap on it and it doesn"t appear that this has been used much. Owner could not find tool to get hitch out. The fifth wheels I am familiar with are platforms that receive a "king-pin" and usually take up half of the bed. We have a gooseneck horse trailer so I am wondering what it will take to convert this. Owner also indicated that hitch might have option of gooseneck from manufacturer. Anyone familiar with this or anything similar? Thanks, Kirk
