That era of Fords are my favorite. I have owned a few and they are great trucks.My last one had a 28" lift on it and I sold it at 100k miles with no real problems. The 460 does like its gas, but if he isnt driving it all the time its no big deal. And it will pretty much tow anything hooked up to it.

Where are the pics of the truck with a 28" lift?
I own a 1990 f350 crew cab 4x4 with a 460 efi and e4OD trans and bw1356 transfercase.I am the second owner and can say i have beat this truck to hell...From towing,to taking it to Azuza Canyon OHV to numerous odd jobs.No real problems except for a small ABS problem I had...A simple pull of the fuse fixed that problem.I just replaced the smog pump,trans filter,diff fluid,plugs,wires,etc...Another words,a major tune up and shes getting 14MPG.I installed a K&N air filter and flowmaster muffler and she tows our boats with ease (20' jet boats).Anyways,i say get the truck...Here is a pic of my truck....I'll be lifting it 12" next month and probably run 40" Goodyear MTRs.

Thats nuts, what was the arc like on those springs?! did you extend the mount points and spring hangers?
Don,
My '91 has as of right now 474K on it. The engine is 99% stock. I had to replace the water pump so I did the timing chain too. The trans kicked ass for years and then started to leak so I had it rebuilt, it took them 5 trys to get it right and they just never did. I finally found the problem a bad speedo drive gear. I amvery happy with the truck it has been in the family all its life. The 7.5L (460) is one tough cookie !!!
Here is mine
'91 SDF250 4x4, Supercab (Severe Duty)
7.5L efi, E4OD trans, 1356 Transfer Case
Had stock trans rebuilt at 250K
My biggest expence and bitch is tires, they only last about 98K
I am on my 5 set
It also has a 6" SkyJacker system on it.

I can say this @ 200K I was getting 16mpg, now @470K I am getting 10-11mpg. The 460 is a very good and reliable engine. I am planning on replacing the engine with one of LakesOnlys replacement complete engines in the near future. I just doesn't have the power it once did. And I am going to be putting 37s on it too !!!

I didnt do any of itI am not sure what they did...I did NOT want blocks in there ( I have had problems in the past) The arc on the springs were rediculous. Honestly the truck rode like $hit thats why I sold it. They did relocate a bunch of stuff and I had ladder bars front and rear. It looked good and that was about it.
