I built this truck from multiple trucks. Started out as my first diesel in 2014 it was a 83 6.9 T19 3.54 gears dana 60 rear. Now its sporting a 7.3 with studs, a rajay turbo kit, zf5, dana 70 rear and 4.10 gears, I put a body on off a 84 F250 460 2wd from colorado. Everything was resealed and anything worn was rebuilt.

and lastly for now my 1969 F6000 diesel I saved where it sat for 25 years in a field full of mice and moss. Has the cat 1140 diesel labeled as a Ford v150 diesel with a 5 speed and a 2 speed rear. I went through all the brakes, wiring, put a military bed on it actually quite a rare truck its definitely nowhere near perfect but its definitely a handy little unique dump truck.

Here's my rad house on wheels. His name is Clif-Ford he's a 1994 Ford E350 7.3L IDI (non turbo... sad and slow 12,000 lb tank) with 155,000 miles (bought him at 132,000 miles).
If you see me in Colorado, knock and say hi! ... or if you pass me going 20 MPH up and mountain honk or something. Haha.

If you have any suggestions to make my house faster please tell me!

The only good way to make these trucks faster is to add a turbo and tune the fuel to match the extra air.

what phillip said

Think I can even fit a turbo being a van with not much extra room in the bay? I've also heard that adding a turbo on an already high compression engine will make it far less reliable? Is this true? Since this is my full time home, I can't be blowing head gaskets haha. It's got good get up and go in first and second gear, then as soon as you hit third gear on a slight incline, it looses so much torque. Overdrive is even worse uphill.

There is a special turbo for vans.The only time you have to worry about blowing the heads off us when you go crazy with boost.

Boost is basically just the amount of air being forced into the engine from the turbo.
Got it. When I lived in Michigan, I never got any black smoke even at full throttle, out here at 5280 ft elevation there is considerably less oxygen in the air and I get black smoke super easy. I may not even have to adjust to add extra fuel? Example below...
