I believe your truck is called a F-Super Duty. It was sold as a Cab & Chassis only so Ford did not call it a F-450. I have an 89 F-Super Duty with the 7.3 and 5 speed ZF. It has 5.13 gears in the rear axle so it"s no speed demon but it will pull anything you can hook to it. It is a Dana 80 axle and gears are available all the way down to 3.31 or so if you want speed without revving the engine.
The 7.3 is nothing but a 6.9 with the cylinders bored .110" over size. This leaves very thin cylinder walls that are especially prone to pinhole leaks due to cavitation. Check the SCA level of the coolant to see if it has the special anti-cavitation additive in it. Mine has 4 wheel disc brakes with a hydraboost (instead of vacuum) power system. The front axle is a solid I beam with nothing weak about it. It rides like a buckboard wagon.
