Good morning Mike! Yeah that darn rust is going to hurt in the resale of your truck.

I've never seen your truck so don't know how bad the body is but....
You know - there are threads out there from guys living in the south with their roached out 5.4's or Blown up 7.3's that may be interested in your truck to do a body-swap on....
I know if I were in their shoes, I would be lookingfor something like that... Save a lot of time and money in the long run..

So is there a 6.7 in your future or ???

Morning Troy.

But it is still a Legendary 7.3 with under 200K on it...

The worst of the cab is the driver side cab corner/rocker. It is all exterior rust, not the structure of the cab. I could fix it, if so inclined, but need to figure out the ROI on that.

No 6.7 in the near future, maybe 6-7 years down the road.

Lots of them in Texas.... The interiors are all shot from the sun and the drivelines are crap because they've had the living crap beaten out of them in the heat... I lived there for a dozen years and saw many rust free cars and trucks crushed...
