One of the nicer OBS Powerstrokes you'll find, especially in the upper Midwest, some rough edges here and there but overall in excellent shape. I almost always get complimented on it every time I take it out. Never thought this day would come but I find my heart's not in it anymore. at least $5k in parts alone, all receipts since purchase. I still enjoy it but I find my priorities elsewhere, might regret the sale, who knows. Have owned for 12 years, bought the truck in May of '03, took a one-way flight to Austin, TX and drove her home. Has never left me stranded, came close once when the UVCH failed, but flawless otherwise. I've done a lot of mods over the past few years with the FULL intent on driving cross country. It's my estimation that you could put another 200k on it at this point with little or no issues. Originally from Texas, drove it through three winters until I changed jobs, has been stored winters since. Body is real clean with the exception of rust poking through in the infamous spot on all OBS boxes, right above the wheel openings. Can take some more close up pics if requested. Paint is pretty good overall, re-spray in '03 shortly after buying The truck is a BEAST. I'll probably never own another as powerful, will do circles around any stock OBS. Yes it still won't win many races against the late model stuff but being a 2wd standard cab not as much weight to pull around and is still FAST, will bury the needle effortlessly, and will also pull the house over. Never dyno'd but by all accounts it should put down 350hp, 700+lbs at the wheels. It also "rolls coal". Can support larger injectors but wanted to keep it cross-country tow worthy. With all that speed, the truck also stops better than it ever did with the rear discs over the drums. All parts only have between 4 and 7k miles on them unless noted. Item's of interest are: Swamps Babies Injectors TS 6 position tuner with various Swamps tunes Swamps modded IDM - this alone woke it up pretty good, but nothing compared to the tuner Adrenaline HPOP with late [new] IPR International t444e water pump with filter (spare included) S&B airbox 3" Stainless downpipe with 4" Magnaflow exhaust - this is actually 10 years old, but in exceptional shape IH bellowed up-pipes, ceramic coated from Riff Raff Diesel Dieselsite Wicked Wheel 2 non-EBPV turbo pedestal, Beans electric fuel, with spare filters 6.0L Intercooler with Banks pipes CCV Mod **Rebuilt ZF5 S547 (upgraded from S542) with a South Bend OFE clutch rated for 450hp **Rebuilt 10.25 Sterling with genuine Ford 3.55's and a Truetrac posi carrier - parts alone were 1k plus Rebuilt driveshaft with Genuine Spicer solid body u-joints E350 rear discs with Chevy 3/4 ton calipers Electric line lock for rears, this works excellent, manufacturer name escapes me at the moment. I do still have the parking brake pedal and cable from the truck too. Bilstein shocks Redhead steering box with Borgeson intermediate shaft including new ball joints and tie rods. All new Urethane suspension bushings, I actually disassembled the leafs, sandblasted, coated surface area with Slip Plate # 33203 Graphite Dry Film Lubricant Also sandblasted the i-beams and all suspension brackets as the rust was expanding under the powdercoating. Some surface rust since, but excellent shape overall Rebuilt oil cooler Fresh Front rotors and bearings new/refurbished XLT wheels Smoothie front bumper with matching grill - this is NLA from what I can tell, nice piece New Driver's door pins, no saggy doors! Monster Glow Plug relay Fresh Alternator and idler pulleys Drawtite Class 5 (10k lb) bumper pull hitch in excellent shape with matching class 5 tongue 38 Gallon Spectra rear tank Seat is a Dodge Quad cab rear with custom mounts on factory rails, back/upright doesn't latch Exhaust temp [pyrometer], Boost, and HPOP gauges on pillar cluster The Bad: Small oil cooler leak right above the filter boss, I've seen this exact leak on other 7.3's, has been consistent, never worsened over the years. I did rebuild the cooler, all new gaskets, it was good for about a month and the leak returned in the same spot. Dipstick oil leak - this only appeared after the CCV mod, nothing substantial. Could probably use a new windshield, or at a minimum some kind of polish. There are 3 small rock hits on the passenger side that have been the since I bought it. No AC, I completely removed this as the truck is no longer a daily driver and the vent windows are awesome. Custom made firewall fan box (see pics) to clean up the engine bay, Some rust poking through the top of the box wheel wells in the typical OBS spot Bed could also use some attention - has a cheap DIY bed liner on it that has not held up well (see pics) No windshield washer pump or reservoir, harness connections still there Pyrometer not working with parking lights on, suspect radio interference Spares: Working turbo, had replaced the original when troubleshooting an oil leak and had it on there for about 75k miles, perfectly functional Spare IDM, ECM, UCVH including new valve cover gasket Replacement harness pigtail ends as well "Ford" stamped tailgate (pre '87) also included with replacement decals Feel free to ask any questions, thanks for looking!
