Thanks. I e-mailed him and asked him to resend them using a camera so if he does, I'll post them. In the mean time, the pics he sent show:
the Banks turbo
the aluminum air box with black hoses coming off it which looks identical to the one posted by tjc except this one has two stickers on it(one says Banks Gale Banks Engineering/the address/"Turbocharger system for Ford 6.9/7.3"/ model 6.9f/CARB E. O. NO. D-161-14
what looks to be an exhaust manifold
the u shaped down pipe that joins to the exhaust

I know they can be rebuilt, but I'm not sure exactly on where to get such things.
If you've got no end play, it's plenty good. IIRC, these turbos use bushings, and as long as you keep plenty of oil going through it, there's not a lot to fail.

if there is no play in the shaft and there is no oil fouling it is good. you can get a rebuilt kit from banks.
for $300 that is not a bad deal, but you are missing around 2-3 hundred in parts.
you will need a downpipe, i did not see one in the pictures.
it also looks like the cross over pipes are buggered up, there should be 3 flange ends. it looks like one end has pipes welded to it from a home done repair.

Thanks tjc. I was already thinking it would be better to just get the air box, turbo, and gauges sent to save on shipping if the turbo is worth $300 itself. Would an exhaust shop be able to fab the pipes or would I have to order them?

maybe, but i would order them from Banks direct.
call banks and price the down pipe and crossover pipe, their phone number is 1-800-601-8072.
ask for sales. you are asking for parts for a first generation sidwinder, non wastegated turbo for a ford 7.3 IDI diesel. you will also have to tell them what trans you have. automatic and manual trans crossover pipes are different.
