Introduction
Hi,
Just came here to introduce myself and my fleet of 7.3 powerstrokes.
I live in central Oklahoma on 30 acres, enjoy building things, outdoor adventures and tinkering on 7.3's. I own an electrical contractor business and recently started another business www.northupautomotive.com making breakout/injector kill boxes and selling 7.3 electrical items.
I have been in the 7.3 game for around 10 years now. I've fully rebuilt 2 engines doing everything but the machine work myself. I'll have to upload some pictures soon.
My fleet:
1- (big red)1999 F250, xlt, ccsb, 7.3, auto, 4x4, red, with a utility bed. This is my daily driver that I use for my electrical business. Currently around 541,000 miles with around 70,000 on the rebuilt motor. BTS trans, hydra, gauges, f650 dash with switches, rear airbags and many other mods.
2- (Bertha) 2001 F350, xl, crew cab and chassis, drw, 7.3, auto, 4x2, white, with a flat bed. This is my farm truck I use it to do anything heavy or when I need a flatbed. It's mostly stock with a rebuilt motor currently around 380,00 with about 10,000 on the rebuild.
3- (bucket truck) 2001 F550, xl, single cab and chassis, 7.3, auto, 4x2, with a 36' height bucket/utility bed. I also use this truck in my electrical business but not too often. It has about 316,000 miles on it. Unknown on the motor, it was replaced with a supposedly low mile ford remain motor before I got it.
4- (cowboy cadillac) 2001 F350, lariat, cclb, srw, 7.3, zf6, 4x4 with manual transfer case, white, currently without a bed. This is a project truck I picked up a few years ago. It has around 360,000 on it, 6th gear is out on it but I still drive it on the back roads every now and then. I have a replacement transmission just need to find time to swap it out. Going to be building a custom flatbed for it as well.
5- (blue) 1997 F250, xlt, ccsb, 7.3, zf5, 4x2, blue. With around 250,000 miles. This is another project truck I acquired in a trade, it's pretty rough but it runs and drives. Not sure what the future holds for this one, maybe a full on make over (it needs a lot of body work) or just keep it as a beater. I do like a clean obs though...
Anyway, that's about all I can think of for now. Hoping to share my knowledge and gain some more from this community.
