Brought home another IDI

[NMB2]

so here it is, my flatbeds replacement. This truck will get the new built up 6.9 motor. XLT, power everything, A/C, cruise control, gray and black interior, pilot lights. I turned it over 150,000 on the way home. Was a Pacific Duallies outfitter truck so it has about a billion lights and every other option I can think of including aftermarket seats with air lumbar. Other than that.. 5spd and 7.3 turbo

You must be registered for see images attach

Trucks are the exact same length, and the crew cab weighed in at 7200lbs with both tanks full and 3 passengers... much lighter than the flatbed.

Nice truck. I'd be interested in some pics of the custom items

Because I don't like Slantnoses or brick noses. The OBS is my favorite body style. The flatbed was purchased as a "tester" truck to see what I could do with an IDI. It was to determine if the IDI would serve as my dedicated tow rig, or if I needed to get a PSD or a Duramax.

It passed the test on a low budget build, so now I need a nice truck to wrap around the motor..... the new truck.

I will be essentially swapping engines/trans between the two. The flatbed will end up with the OBS's engine and trans... the OBS will end up with the 6.9 after I pull it out, strip it down and "repower it"

Nice. You gonna keep the stripe kit on the new truck?

Turbo 7.3 eh? I wonder how that thing compares in power to your 6.9...

By his numbers and video of his flat bed, I would say not even close
