What do you think of this truck

[robbiem]

I am new to the site but not to Ford diesels, I have an 02 ccsb f250 7.3 4x4 zf6 and a 97 cclb 7.3 4x4 zf5 drw. I've owned an idi before but ended up parting the truck because of rust and water in oil.

My friend has the truck its an 88 f250 rclb 4x4 zf5 7.3 with a banks turbo kit on it. Truck has no rust, nice toolbox, gooseneck hitch, good tires. Bad needs: clutch, brake caliper, batteries.

The truck starts runs good other than the caliper clutch thing, I went with him when he bought it. He got it to fix and drive but just had his daughter and would like to see it go. I could get the truck for $1400.

If I got the truck It would be a project like my other 2. I know the turbo idis are getting rarer and I like the zf5. Would be getting fixed/cleaned up, a 60 and 33s. I cant decide if I should get it or let my other friend buy it and try to flip it.

What would you all do? I'm supposed to go over and look at it tomorrow and maybe make a deal

I'd say go for it! If you don't think it will work out then you could always part it out and get you're money back

 

[robbiem]

Yeah that's always an option, I just hate doing that to them. Always thought it would be a cool combo to put into like a 78-79 f series

 

[Lithgow]

I say jump on it for that price.

Cant go wrong with a zf5

 

[robbiem]

Yeah I think for 1400 it's gonna be a deal. It has enough part it that I could easily make my money back.

Another addition to the stable...

Oh im jealous of the cclb drw 4wd

And i just looked at this truck on craigslist wondering why it was cheap. The ad said runs and can drive but needs work..and has a first gen banks turbo....a good deal in my book.

 

[robbiem]

Yeah I got it then kindof came to my senses. I discovered it doesn't need a clutch though seems to drive decently but you can tell it needs a tune up. I am still considering keeping it but I just hate to have to register and insure 3 trucks.

If you decide to part it out and that push bar is in decent shape, let me know.
