Bought myself a project

I just bought a 91 F350 2wd dually, 5 speed manual trans, diesel, extended cab.
The motor is out of the truck because it has holes in the cylinders from cavitation. I think I can get another 7.3 for 200 bucks.
So it looks like I will have a thousand bucks invested to start off.
Hope to be able to get it running by maybe dropping another 500 into it.
We shall see.
Oh yea, no rust at all except about 10 -1/8" spots on roof.
no dents, and an excellent interior and carpet.
175,000 miles
Hope to have it running by the spring.
