If you can find one get a old Ford 250/350 with a 7.3. Make sure to get a manual tranny behind it. A 4 speed would be the best in the manuals. The 5 speed over drives in the early diesels tend to be a weak spot if used alot. I have a 1991 with a E4od auto in it. I hate that tranny. But the ride of that beast is secondend to none. I friend has been in a few trucks and always tells me the old ford rides the best. With very few mods to teh 7.3 you can really make them old girls work. Most noteably a exhaust mod of a 3 inch pipe from the Y back with no muffler will be a good increase. Also the removally of the soup bowl in the air cleaner lid and a K&N filter will wake them up. A little tweek to the injection pump and your good to go. Down the road you can always add a turbo and up grade the injectors. On a trip to TN from wis I had a new idea 2 row mounted picked on a 18 car hauler. I ihad the mounting frame work and the husker unit too on there. I averaged on the way down 11 mpgs running in drive with 4.11 gears in the axles. Not bad for a old farm beater. My truck only has the mods done that does not include the turbo. Bob
