Ha! i hear ya! the 85-87's had a turbo Mitsu diesel w/a timing belt, they were good for about 150K, the Perkins is easily good for 500K plus.... granted, top speed is about 75mph, but it gets 1,100 miles between fill-ups (dual tanks, 30gal capacity).


EDIT: that vid must be of a tired Perkins, i can do 0-70 in less than 20sec (pretty good for a 2.2 Perkins).

Nice setup mech! More pics of both the plow and wrecker setup would be awesome! Every now and then I see an IDI wrecker for sale, would love to get one in time, but so far the funds have never been there when they've came available.

Was your truck a cab and chassis, so it has the narrower frame and rear end, or was it a factory box on it?

i am new to this forum, im 16 and my first vehcile is an 88' f350 centurion and i was referred to this thread
here are some pics:
http://s1194.photobucket.com/albums/...97447605_n.jpg
http://s1194.photobucket.com/albums/...81548094_n.jpg
http://s1194.photobucket.com/albums/...75882305_n.jpg
http://s1194.photobucket.com/albums/...12321062_n.jpg

my interior trim has REAL wood and is going to be very annoying to fix up as it was original to the truck in 88', the tv has long since been removed and the original boomerang tv antenna broken off so i am putting a shell on(non working to save money since i dont plan to put a tv in the back).
7.3l turbo diesel, alcoa aluminum one piece forged rims
