This is it! The ultimate work truck that Ford Never built in 1995.
1995 Ford F-350
Crew Cab, Long Bed
Dually
4 Wheel Drive
7.3 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel (see engine details below)
ZF 5 Speed manual transmission
Be the king of the job site with this beast! This thing is built for work. The truck belonged to a fellow FTE'er until I purchased it last summer as a part of a "lot" of parts trucks and parts. I have spent the last little while ironing out a few small kinks in the truck, and I will continue to do so until it is sold. This truck was built with towing and work in mind and it does it very, VERY well.
Drivetrain Modifications Include:
Electric Fuel Pump Conversion
Terminator Engineering T-500 High Pressure Oil Pump
Rosewood "Stage 2" 160/80 Injectors
Borg Warner S366 Turbo
TS 6 Position Chip with custom tunes from Tony Wildman
"Bus" Water pump with integrated coolant filter
South Bend Dual-disk clutch
6637 Air filter Setup
6.0 Intercooler
4" down pipe and 5" straight pipe exhaust
"Hybrid" ZF-5 speed manual transmission (details below)
The transmission is a modified version of a "wide ratio" 5 speed from a big block truck that is installed into a diesel pattern transmission housing. The result is that you have a "wide ratio" diesel 5 speed that was not available in the pickups, which puts first, second and third gears closer together to really get a load moving. This coupled with the bigger injectors and the S366 turbo makes for one SERIOUS towing machine. The transmission shifts as it should and rowing through the gears in this truck is sure to put a smile on your face.
The truck is not "show truck clean" because that wasn't the intent. It was built to be "just an old work truck" but it's one MEAN old work truck, indeed. This truck looks like it means business and it has the guts to back up the appearances. Put this on the goose neck and tow your show truck, pulling truck, show tractor, or just a load of ...whatever, but this thing will not disappoint you. Gooseneck hitch, fifth wheel rails, and bumper hitch all set and ready to go.
As I have said, there are a few small details that I am still working to resolved with the truck:
-- Pyrometer Gauge is acting up from time to time
-- Right side power windows are not responding to controls as they should be
-- Truck "bucks" under hard acceleration in a hot tune
Aside from that, jump in and go! It's ready to get to work.
Current Asking price is $11,000, and I will be less inclined to haggle as I continue to mark things off the "to-do" list.
What is the front end replacement? Ranchand? Does that d366 turbo have a t4 flange? I sure like a t4 flange I wish I had bought a different turbo for my 7.3.

Yes sir, that's a Ranch Hand front bumper. Thing is heavy, but there's not much that will hurt it.
This is, indeed a T4 flanged turbo. S366 is a pretty good charger for the 7.3 and the stage 2's in this truck light it right up.
This is a sweet rig! It's posted on the front page, and I'm going to put it on the FTE Twitter, so hopefully that'll get you come eyeballs. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks, Johnny! The help would be much appreciated.
I'm not too far from you I've seen this truck before! I know one guy from work was looking fro an OBS truck, I'll see if he wants a dually. Looks like a nice setup would be a good tow rig for sure.
