I just got a f250 2wd w/ 5.8 and manual last summer. Runs good and pulls ok but could use a bigger engine. I would check it over w/ a fine tooth comb. Mine has nearly 195000 miles on it. The brakes were done shortly before I bought it, and one of the gas tanks was replaced.
I put new ball joints, shocks, radius arm bushings, calipers, brake hoses, parking brake cables, and the rear gas tank. I only paid $1000 for it, but I stuck another $1000+ in it, and most of the labor was done by myself. Some time I'll need to put a new radiator (so new hoses etc... as well) but for now I can wait as I only drive it a few times a month to keep her limber, and the occasional towing.
Any truck in the same age range will probably need the same work done as it's got just as much to do with age as it does miles.
