The 84 is Toast
Well Guys, the Frame is bent pretty bad right where the door is. I am gonna have to either live with that, fix the entire thing myself(jayme can help me i guess if he wants) or just part out whats left of the truck. Input for my options is wanted, i did find a 1983 that was damn near perfect body shape that has a factory turbo(not installed) that will come with it, 1983 F-350 single Cab, T-19,, 6.9. I am also going to get a 1997 Ford Powerstroke, Jayme saw that one and he said he would have bought it if his was totalled...

Wouldnt a Powerstroke be a money pit compared to the IDI?
If you could find another IDI then your donor truck would supply almost unlimited parts for it.
And you could take your time getting creative about fixing the bent frame etc.

Aren't powerstrokes supposed to be money pits? I want to get myself a 90's Bronco Centurion C-350, rebuild, and tune the engine to hit like 500HP, and **** my pants every time I punch it on the freeway.

Well I picked that 83 up....it has 2.25" exhaust all the way to 5" stacks(BAD IDEA XD) It sounds so mean, it rides nicer than mine did, the T-19 that is in it is a Wide range....4x4 works excellent, has really aggressive tires on it, but I am gonna put the BFG's on. The truck has no heat(new blower motor in the 84). It is a light tan interior, I will get pics asap....
