I've retired my 88 F150 for this 2002 F250. It has the 7.3 L diesel engine. I'm a bit worried about taking it out right now due to the cold.

Did you get it rust proofed? I would be more concerned about the salt they use during winter than the cold. I have 1994 F150 and rust proof it each year. No rust, all the brake lines etc and the whole vehicle is rust free.
About the concern of cold weather. Get a block heater, and plug it in for an hour or two, and your good to go. A warmer engine gets better fuel economy too.

Congrats! My first vehicle was a '91 Ford F150 short wide. Straight six with a 5-speed manual. Great truck until I flipped it going 85 on a dirt road
