If you had a chance to buy dad's truck cheap, I'd do that. If it turns out you don't like it, sale and look for a different truck. That's me. That's to only way I'd jump into a 6.0 you know no history on.

 

Well - I may have found a CCLB 3 hours away. So i'm going to load up some cash and take a look at it tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted on the ensuring fix thread. He has baby swamp injectors for it that are not installed yet. 150/146 tow/mild injectors. How do these compare to Rosewoods Stage 1.5?

Also this has a 99 7.3 in it with around 180K miles. Any differences here and the original OBS 7.3s?

Also - anyone have a measurement of how long the distance is from the front of the front tire to the middle of the rear tire? Want to make sure this will fit on the trailer. I'd imagine all of these CCLB's are close to the same.

 

If that 1 don't work out message me. I'm building 1 right now

 

^ no doubt it'll be a good one!

 

Gotta be willing to travel for a deal, and turn it down if it's not what you thought after seeing in person. You already seem to be good on that. That's the issue with shipping a truck if you haven't seen it first. Could have a lot of hidden flaws.

I'd wait till you find what you want. Cclb 7.3 f350. Or if you go the 6.0 route, at least get an 05 + for the coil suspension. And I believe there were some improvements in the engine's In those years as well. Bullet proofing them including head gaskets, studs, head work, any updates and all that stuff is a few grand parts alone. I think it's like 4500-6000 to get it done. I forget what my buddy charges. But he's cheap compared to other places. So a 6.0 truck would have to be cheap, make it worth it after bullet proofing it. But those 5r110s are sure nicer than the e4od
