After much searching, and a LOT of driving to look at trucks, I found an idi powered F350. I originally set out to find pretty much any drivable 6.9 4wd 3/4 ton, and wanted to avoid a 7.3 if at all possible. I ended up with a 94 factory turbo 7.3
F350 standard cab SRW. And I got a stripped block, boxes of hard parts, and a literal bucket of bolts- not really the fairy-tail I was hoping for, but it did come with a Banks turbo setup, and the truck is solid enough. Also, I am a heavy equipment mechanic by trade, so I think it'll work out.. Anyway, hello all.

hey, thanks.. i don't know about the parts truck, my wife already says the house looks like a white trash haven- I'm ok with it, but, you know, marriage.... really is a shame, too, on account of i have an awesome garage/concrete patio area for that sort of activity..
