Hello!

You can learn a lot about them on the site and you might be able to find one to. Checkout the Classifieds at the top and your state chapter might be able to give some leads if you don't have one lined up: Arkansas Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

Good Luck!

Dan, Thanks.... I'm test driving a 1985 F250 with a 6.9. I was looking for some helpful tips to decide if it is worthy.

This might help: Pre-Power Stroke Diesel (7.3L IDI & 6.9L) - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums A lot of folks have them, it just depends on how you plan to use it.
