Powerstroke Supercab

I acquired a powerstroke van about 8 years ago, I'd say it's time to start fitting it in dads old supercab. This will be a slow progress build because my health was diminished in an auto accident back in December. Still kicking tho

I used to take my wife on dates in this truck before we were married. The first 2 pictures of the f250 are about 9 years old, Lord have mercy the time moves along.


Had the van moved from an old property today, You can imagine I am ecstatic to have this in my yard


In a 7.3 watching a 7.3 bring my 7.3

see the mud hand signature on the 79.. ugh...

The f250 has a perfect 351m and c6 in it right now but thats 😴 😴 right? The boys are excited

I see a whirlie bird

I mostly freed the motor of the harness about 2 years ago

'Whistling Dixie'


Off topic, check out this creosote post bumper i saw on youtube

Thank you for the kind words! Mighta thought differently of me if you'd saw it unfold. It was a controlled winch removal, not a snatching affair

Now there's an idea!! I built one years back with those wheels.


Wish I had kept that one, come out with a nice trade though!

I was driving this around when i bought it but someones was slacking on the upkeep

80% plugged

more crud (common respiratory unknown disease) but seen worse with 260k miles

fuel drains down the front of the block instead of into the valley which is nice!!

This is a first. Never seent a fuel bowl drain cable.. Learning every day!

Rat carnage(could b worse) Fuel bowl heater, IPR sensor and ICR plugs devoured.





Little corrosion but absolutely zero shaft play!!

Didn't have time to drop the tank before the bottom fell outta the sky




Glad I found this $5-600 part.. I hid it from myself in the back of the bus, call me Rosa..



Now ill try to not burn this thing down

Not bad in the way of critter damage!

That's a whole lotta wiring to play with.

Does the body have a full height door on the rear?

Yeah it could have been a lot worse! No this one has the folding side doors and driver door. The back glass has quick escape access but no door.
