Another interesting customer’s truck, 1985 crew cab f350. Has 7.3 and zf5 from a 92, hypermax turbo and intercooler. Front end is a Chevy axle with superduty steering and springs. Came in for timing and tuning, swapped out the intake hat with a better one I had and redid some intercooled pipes to fix some boost leaks. Maxed out the stock pump at 15 psi of boost and egts 400* lower than what they were previouslyYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attachYou must be registered for see images attach
Actually, it's very similar to Greg5.0's truck. (I think) but it now has a DT in it, iirc.

Yessir, actually fixing to do a restore on it, I was thinking of making a thread on it if anyone would be interested. We’ve got a couple of these old ford diesel tractors, our 1969 jd450 has 37,000 hours on it.Is that a ford 6000 in the back????

1975 Ford 3/4 ton "Highboy". Truck originally had a 360 FE, swapped it to 6.9 idi out of an 84 F250 years ago, a friend blew the engine while I was away for a few years. Swapped a 7.3 idi back into it last December. I used the 6.9 pump on the 7.3 so I doubt its timed right. Pyro installed and fuel turned up to a hint of smoke at full throttle, loaded. EGT's don't break 900. 7.3 idi non-turbo, np435 4 speed, divorced np205 t-case, Dana 60 rear, Dana 44 closed knuckle front, 4.10 final drives. Stock suspension, 33" tires. Not the prettiest girl at the ball but it's done everything I've asked of it. Truck currently resides at dad's farm but eventually I'll be out of school and be able to start restoration.
I've considered swapping the 429 in my highboy with a 7.3 IDI. What did you use for motor mounts?
