Welcome whistledick, I hear ya, I refuse to grow up too!
It sounds like you had some decent vehicles, the Shelby GT rocks and the 74 Bronco/428 Cobra Jet would too!
For info on the 2004 F350/6.0 post in the 2003 - 2007 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel forum: 2003 - 2007 6.0L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
So far I`d had great luck with my 05 F350 4X4/6.0 Crew though it`s a low miler, just under 60,000 miles on the clock.
