1970 F-250, 7.3 IDI turbo

[OlKoot]

I've been working on this for a while. Its been mostly rebuilt, Dana 60 kp front end, original 4spd, cab is A/C, and I just got the turbo on...side mounted. 37x12.5's on 16.5 rims (military surplus Goodyear Wranglers). disc brakes, Braden PTO winch, Air bags por-15 undercoat, and an American Road Camper made exclusively for Ford by Starcraft. etc...

I used the original 6.9 bellhousing with the original 4spd, made my own mounts..and had the original rad rebuilt, I've replaced or rebuilt the front-end kingpins, u-joints, brakes, transfer case(205np), rear-end has a pewerLock Limited slip, replaced the cab three times, and the box twice, still had the original Hood, of which I going to put back on...cuz the hood flew open once and wrecked the one on now..I also made the flat deck trailer in the bottom pic

Good to see the ol' Bumpsides still on the road. Even a turbo, that's gotta help.

 

[OlKoot]

Thanks, I liked your site, nice pics of conversions.

I got a few more, but they only let me add just so many pictures. Even a Cummins Common rail in a Bump.

are you only using one side of your exhaust?

 

[OlKoot]

No, the y-pipe carries the exhaust over to the drivers side manifold, and up through to the turbo... works very good. Just did a trip through the Rockies here in bc with my American Road Camper...11.5 feet.. did real well.

Wow i like, please post more better pics if your still active on here.. Oh i realy love the side mount turbo, why did any aftermarket company decide it should be at the back of the engine cramed against the firewall??

That radiator is sick! Was that a factory option? I need one! Yes I realize I brought that back from the dead.

That may be the tall narrow radiator. Don't think I've seen one in person yet.
