Turboless diesel
Would a 1993 turboless 7.3 be worth three grand as a truck that pulls a trailer once in awhile and maybe a crate on the flat bed it had? Only 73,000 miles and clean. Four wheel drive. Five speed manual. Just an idea I was tossing around and this seems to be where you go for advice.

Short answer Yes. Now if you really want to wake it up slap a Banks Sidewinder turbo on it. I had a 93 non-turbo and when I put the Sidewinder on it talk about waking it up!!!! I did have to use a porta power to smash in the firewall just a tad to make it fit but man ole man was it worth it for the difference it made on mine............

depends on your state and insurance company. here in new jersey i have my trucks registered as passenger at commercial fee and do not need commercial insurance.
and that truck may have more that 73,000 miles on it because the odometer rolls back to zero at 100,000 miles. my 88 shows a little over 94,000 miles. but it actually has over 494,000 miles on it.

i would take a refrigerator magnet and run it along the bottom of the fenders, and cab corners. if there was rot and it was repaired, the magnet will not stick.
for three grand that is a good deal as long as nothing is seriously wrong with it.
if that truck was here in new jersey, it would already be at my shop with a plow on the front and a sander sitting on the bed.
it would pay for itself twice over in one winter.

In Jersey! What happened to Antarctica?
Looks like you should buy it!
Up here duel wheels = commercial insurance.

That truck's odometer should not roll over at 100k miles. 91' and older yes, but 92' and up has a 6th digit in the digital odometer. If you're looking for a dually flatbed, ****** that thing up if it checks out.

I plan to. I just want to go look at it and see what I can get it to. Then I have to acquire the money. It will hopefully make a nice truck to drive while I work on my heavy half to bring it back to show quality. And to pull a trade once in awhile.
