Interesting Craigslist finds

The guy can’t figure out if it has a turbo charger or not. Do you really think it only has 94,000 miles?

And I spent a lot of time drive in a ofI spent a lot of time driving a 7.3 non Turbo 450. I sure as hell wouldn’t want one as a primary tow rig compared to more modern options.

just heard back from the seller...
his words-
"The turbo is there. It’s been in the truck since it was built. Even on the 6.9. You are about the fifth person to say that. Lol. It’s behind the air cleaner next to the firewall."
 
had a 7.3 IDI in a uhaul truck.
not fast.
reliable as a fucking hammer.
for ten grand if it's clean I don't see how you can go wrong here.
 
I think it was hypermax, they made a turbo kit that just moved the factory air filter forward a few inches.

Edit.

he just sent me this pic.

its there... also the hub caps he has on it are covering the locking hubs up front.

he had to go out a measure to be sure of the bed size. its 8ft, i thought it looked longer?


everything else seems to be checking out on the truck.

i think i'm going to have to see if i can call and talk to him, then see if TreeClimber is up to putting eyes on it and maybe a test drive.

right now i tow with a 2013 2wd ccsb f350 6.2gas 210k mi (before that was a 2010 with 5.4, went all the same places just peddle to the floor), truck with sxs rack and towhauler full of the kids toys. usually around 18-20klbs. we go all over looking for sand... we go to glamis, sand hollow, oregon dunes, st anthony, little sahara, etc. as well as allot of in state camping. usually 70-90days in the camper a yr. i'd really like 4x4 and this thing just may be the oddball that fits the bill.

i'd like to tow with my e350 7.3diesel, but nowhere to fit the kids toys and my sxs. kids and wife have dirt bikes, pedddle bikes etc.. sxs on the back of the truck works well.
 
not real interesting other than the 809,000 mile duramax

Actually have a build thread
irate4x4.com

The Rig. F-350 sleeper cab build

Its looking like im going to start making progress on the rig again so figured this thing was worthy of a build thread. Im going to copy and paste posts from FSB to bring it to current. In 2018 i saw this for sale on facebook for 1000. pretty much all it said was doesnt run if it doesnt sell...

If it's a 250 is a d50 ttb front. That might be why it looks low.
It probably has original auto hubs. That's why it's covered

early 80s 350s also had the d50 TTB

Check the coolant for combustion gasses, if you can.
I'm 3/3 on 7.3 idis with cavitation holes in the cylinder walls lol
it doesn't really affect them that badly, but the one I scrapped out had some real deep rust pits in the affected cylinder from the coolant pooling in there, was shocked it still had piston rings in that hole.

well shit... be willing to lay eyes on it?


i'll send him a message and see what happens.
i've got a 7.3ps in my van but know nothing of the earlier 7.3. guess i'll be looking into that shortly.

Its the kind of truck that could be listed between $2500 and $25000... but how many have you seen? If its its something you like / want then how long might you be waiting for another

I get what you're saying, but there is literally someone who posted they got theirs for $800.

I see them here and there, but usually the van version. I just don't see anywhere near $10k in value. Maybe half that if it's perfect.

The $800 one didnt run, was about to be scrapped, had a dash fire, was 2wd, doesnt have a truck bed, and likely a lot higher miles. (Assuming the truck in the op has legit millage).

I think you'd be really disappointed with the power of a turbo 7.3 IDI compared to the 6.2 gas. Plus with only having a 4 speed, you'll probably have a to have a pretty low cruising speed. That thing was built when we still had the 55 MPH federal speed limit.

It was listed for 8k before the dash fire. It was in mint condition then. He also claimed low miles. The engine still has the original return lines so Its probably fairly low not that it matters.
