Yep. They're getting harder and harder to come by. Everyone who wants a diesel to use it for what it's meant for, wants a 7.3. I've got three myself but none as nice as that one.

Yes they are. And thanks.

This one spent its life towing a 40 some foot gooseneck enclosed trailer. He had a sprint car race team. So it wasnt a heavy load. It was only out on weekends. No snow. No salt. No cigs. No scrap loads. No mulch loads. Stored in a garage its whole life.

I am trying to take care of it. But I also do use it as a truck. But its not a DD and probably never will be.

All cleaned up for a 1000 mile trip around easter. Its a lot of truck to clean...


At the destination


We tried to take my car. But everything didnt fit. So then we tried my wifes 13 Wrangler. But thats not real big and comfy. So the dually it was! All of a sudden we had tons and tons of room. So we practically brought the whole nursury LOL


Then I added some reverse lights




Then I traded a PlumCrazy's dad my steelies and some cash for his Alcoas and tires. His tires are 1" taller. The front tires are about shot, but I didnt care. So its now running on factory Ford Alcoas.
Truck I pulled them from:



Right after, still with mud on them lol




Working




Cap Removeal lol

This was spotted about 20 miles from me by another member on here. Some guy stole my thunder and already converted. Mine will look similar. I will have wider shoes.
