Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a texas truck because living in the rust belt sucks. Its a 93 F350 IDI dually. Plan is to yank my powerstroke out and drop it in the new truck. The IDI has a blown head gasket so I will fix that and sell the engine, although I would hate to sell a great looking IDI with 40k. I am also going to put the Dana 60 under the front, and I'm still debating about whether to keep the dually or put my 10.25 under and go with a SRW. Thinking about dropping the plow as well and doing an RSK with my already tall front springs for a total of about 6-8" of lift. We will see.
Here are some pics!



Using my dad's 2015 F250 with a 6.2 to do the towing. Its doing surprisingly well so far, although we're just getting into tennessee so these hills will put the truck to the test.







I think this is in Tennessee on our way down. Some breathtaking scenery down here!




More pics to come!

 

That will keep you busy but NO rust is SO nice!!!!!!!

 

Nice find, I dont even know what rust isi

 

It will keep me busy the next few months! I would like to take it to cruise week in Ocean City, MD even if it is not completely done yet. I think that if I did go with the lift I would look into running 37" military tires. Any ideas on what rims I can run? It has been pretty hard to find a good looking dually rim that can fit the tire.

 

Get some 19.5 alcoa wheels, with an at tire, imo those wheels just look right on our trucks.

 

I agree, I want a set of Alcoas but the military tires I want to get are 16.5" rim size. Do you know if Alcoa sells 16.5" tall by 8-10.5" wide? I can't seem to find much info on what Alcoa sells.

 

Not that I know of,

 

I'll look around and see what I can find. We got back about 315 am last night, after driving from Arkansas to MD in one go. Don't know if I want to do that much driving again!
