I looked at that '88 yest. The oil filler looks like a 6.9. I wonder if it is really a '87? That truck needs a lot of TLC. Yeah, the huge rusty square bar for a shifter is a little too redneck for me.

Could be... '88 was the year that the 7.3 was the only diesel option. In '89, you coul either get a 6.9 or a 7.3 engine.

Are you sure I thought 87 was the last year for the 6.9?

My dad's gf had a '89 with a stock 6.9 in it. From what I'm told, it had to be ordered from the factory that way to get a 6.9 in it. I was searching for anything to back up this statement, but I haven't so far. I may be wrong, but she bought her truck in late '89 from a Ford dealership and they claimed it was a NEW truck. The odometer only had about 100 miles on it when she bought it (I'm sure that was test drive mileage).

Of the 69,492 F-350's (and F-250 HDEs) built, 2.1% had an inline six-cylinder engine, 19.3% had a 5.9 liter v-8, 40.8% had a 7.3 liter diesel v-8, 37.8% had a 7.5 liter MFI v-8.

1988
Paraphrasing...
F-350 Pickup:...The other major news this year was the slightly bored-out Navistar (International) diesel engine. Still normally aspirated, it now diplaced 7.3 liters (444 cid).....

I'm not saying that your wrong. I'm sure there are some instances us without money dont know about but.....2 years after ending the 6.9 and going to navistar instead of harvister for the engines, i doubt you could get the 6.9 from the factory in a 1989.

I have an early 87 and it's a 6.9. I'm pretty sure later in 87 they went to the 7.3....88 for sure is 7.3
