1996 F250 SC 7.3 Powerstroke E4OD, just under 300,000. Transmission has been replaced by a Jasper transmission somewhere close to 200,000.

Ok, so assuming I haven't used up all my silly (stupid) questions, who dubbed the 87 to 96 as Old body Styles, when we have say the 1947 to 1986s still around ?? So what does the guy who started this call those OBS 2, 3, 4 or OBS to the 2nd or 3rd or 4th power ?

I've heard those trucks be referred to as vintage or classic. Not sure if that's correct, but it seems to work most of the time when looking for information.

as far as i am concerned, anything older than the current body style is an "old body style"
people have all sorts of stupid names for these trucks. brick nose, blunt nose, block nose, square nose, smash nose, obs, and then there is the popular 1st generation through 247th generation.
i prefer to call them what they are. 67to72, 73to79, 80to86, 87to91, 92to97.
saves on a lot of confusion.
