Introduction

hi im Josh from VA

I have recently purchased a 6.9 and looking to swap it into a 79 f250 High Clear

I work @ an independent shop that does alot of Ford work. I work on everything from powerstroke 7.3 and up to gas cars and trucks. Knowledge about the 7.3/6.9 is almost non existant around

I joined the Forum in hopes of learning and helping as much as I can

most the high boys I've seen are old ranch trucks and don't have any emblems left.
