I recently parted out my buggy I was building and picked up a 1988 F250 7.3L IDI from a guy at work for $1500. It was going to be my winter beater but I decided to make a woods truck out of it instead. Its a Regular Cab Long bed, plans are to leave the wheel base alone and bob the bed. Going to build an internal cage. Major specs as follows
7.3L IDI non turbo diesel, 5speed ZF, Bronco BW1356 (fixed yoke)
D60, 35 spline outers, spartan locker
Sterling 10.25 Welded
38.5" SX on recentered H1's
Plan is to run the suspension all stock for now and cut the fenders for tire clearance.
Grabbed a 86 F350 Parts truck for $500, I kept the axles and suspension and sold the rest off so I ended up making $100 on the deal in the end.
Friend of mine decided he wanted a set of 43" SX so I picked up his 38.5" SXs for $450 and a set of H1s off of him for another $125 for 5, I already had a spare 38.5" SX.
