One of those with a manual is dam near unkillable. Plus with the injectors working off oil pressure if youre low on oil it shuts down, cant run. Used to work at a parts warehouse for diesels, wed tear down the motors for injectors and turbos and such. Most of what came in had issues like it was siezed or slung a rod.

They put salt on the roads in the winter and it jus destroys frame and body's. Only way to stop it is to not drive it in winter. We have great running trucks that are rotted out. Down south the body's are great and drive train wore out lol
I have a '99 F350 crew cab 4WD I bought last June from a friend's dad's estate. He passed 3.5 years ago and it was sitting out in a field. First thing was an oil change and 5 tires. Over the next few months it was mechanically refreshed, nav system/head unit, new headliner, new body seals, Bilstein shocks, all new brakes, Gibson headers/SPD Y-pipe mod/ Gibson side exhaust, stripped down to the metal & painted (no rot, PNW truck) to the tune of 3.5 gallons of paint & clear coat...all totalled, I'm in it about $17,500-18, 000. The only thing I regret is that it is a V10 & not a 7.3. Not a huge fan of the Ford Triton/modular garbage. It's okay, but they have too many issues
Picked 1 up last month fkr $3k. She’s a 2001 with 240,000. New tranny, starter, alternator, ac compressor etc... luckily I came across a craigslist add, was listed for 6000 when I clicked on the contact info, was my old time buddy from middle school lol(90’s 😏) well shows that friendship and honesty goes long ways.
That’s your spare tire carrier, I removed many of them and make a new out of 2x4 square tubing and 3/16 flat bar for the ends that will fit just on the frame rail face ..Run one two inches in front of the rear bumper brackets then one right about where the front of the x brace was ..easy fix . Very good truck I’ve had a few check the vent on the rear diff they fill up with junk and let the rear end build pressure from the heat and can blow out the front seal . Thanks for sharing, looking forward to more on this truck , I believe I saw this truck listed on MP and thought it was a scam…lucky you .
Ive seen differentials leak like this. Check the breather vent on the top and see if its plugged. if its plugged it will cause a big leak like seen in the video. I dont think you should put a flat bed on the back. I think you should get a junk yard box and put that on. give it a good clean and put a fake inspection sticker on it and your golden.
I'm from Tennessee and bought a 1995 F-250 with a 7.3 from Kentucky last year. It was barely running when I got it but the body and frame are in better shape and I also paid $2000 for it. I've probably got that much more into making it run like it should but I'm daily driving it now and I love it.
It's fine to have preferences as far as truck brand, but if you are flipping them, it's good to have experiences with different brands, cause sometimes the best deal is with a brand that isn't your fave. They all have their pros and cons, 7.3's have the cat diesel technology, where if they run low on oil, they can't pump fuel, so they protect the engine, great for if you have a diesel, that gets run by non mechanics. The injectors are real easy to work on, don't need a bunch of fancy tools, or a $10k flow bench to rebuild them. Injector cup rebuild kit with the removal tool is like $80, and I was able to trade about 4hrs of injector rebuilding for a 2000 f550, with a 7.3 and a 6speed manual. It's 2wd, but I have my previous work truck, a 2003 f250 gas/auto, that is 4wd, and much of the parts swap right over. Torque king out of Montana sells a kit to convert a super duty transfer case from married to divorced style, so you can run a transfer case behind a 2wd transmission, for $440, so I'll have a 4x4, f550, with 7.3 powerstroke, a 6 spd manual trans, for like $440 plus the cost of driveshaft shortening. I can sell off the rest of my $500 f250 parts truck and probably make a buck or two as well. My f250 gave me 3 years of hard use, before developing a frame crack due to rust, hit me up if you need some 1999-2003 super duty parts, I'll hook you cheap/free as a thanks for the channel. I'm s good mechanic but your channel has been priceless for learning what will fly and what won't with Vermont's safety inspection process. Keep on trucking.
As others have mentioned, check the vent tube on the rear diff. Mine (Diff) started to weep fluid over the last summer when towing my boat over the Cascades. Tube was 100% blocked.

She's rough, but you still got a deal. I especially like the running board, literally a 2x4, on the driver side. I hope you change your mind about making it a flatbed. Maybe find a donor pickup bed.
That's a good deal for sure. I just picked up a 99 F-350 7.3 with a zf6 and a plow for $2,400 and drove it an hour and a half home without any issues. Needs a parking brake cable and a couple other things to pass NY state inspection but I'm loving it already. Not real fast but it'll go up hills like they're not even there
Yeah this is a monster project. This is one of those situations where once you dig into it, you start finding whacky issues. Be great when it’s done. People pay serious $$$$$ for a good 7.3 🎉.
So the E4OD has a weak torque converter. You can interchange the torque converter from an old C6 transmission and swap them it will make that transmission 10 times as stronger. We did it to a 2001 F350 dually and it held up to abuse.
Ah Ha! You filmed this video before taking the trip to drop off the Cadillac Cimarron. Seen it in a clip there at the end. Anyhow, another nice score! Had a few IDI Ford diesels and they were even slower than the powerstroke. VT247
I took on a gmc nearing this stage... it is now at 387k miles with laminated frame...actually joked of cummins swap. It got that strong. I am over in maine. you see past the crusty stuff too. there is a bad crusty and a working one. Thanks for sharing with confidence.. there is so many bad opinions about northern stuff.
A word of advice from another rust belter…I’ve had more new pinion seals leak right away After I’ve replaced them… The rust/wear Ridge Makes it tough to reseal. Learned to use the repair sleeves that go over the yoke. Much better chances for success that way
I've had four Ford diesels and luckily none of them spurted...lol. I didn't think you would put another box bed on it because even down here they are expensive, so up there they have to be scarce and gold-plated too.
Power stroke is def more powerful than idi. If a Ford isn't beat then it wasn't running . If it was running it was only on 7 cylinders. If the frame is mint then she leaks
Good buy that was good price for all that rust and body damage and it will take a lot of work and l don’t why people’s think you making a lot of money when you buy these cars that need a lot of work in snow any way you should get harbor freight sand blast it will work good on rust to remove and make it look safe and good and u will make good profit on it
wow dude nice deal that is super low miles for a 7.3psd these will do half a million easy! I have owned a few they are great trucks and surprisingly easy to work on
5:45 It only blew the axle seal because you took it a long distance at high speed and didn’t check the axle vent first.That old truck I guarantee you it’s rusted shut if you had cleaned it quick before you left you wouldn’t have blown out the seal and you’re gonna blow out the new Seal as well. I’m sure by now you sold it
Sure do love all of your videos but I do really wish they were longer in length and I’m sure most viewers/subscribers feel the same way! Keep on keepin on :)
man that is a rough looking truck, it's the first one out of many i have seen you work on where i think it is pretty bad. There is a lot of rust under there. The engine it's self aren't fast or powerful but will keep on trucking cus they are pretty much like tractor engines lol. The truck won't be half bad once you fix all of it's issues.
There a lot of those trucks still in regular daily use by farmers, contractors in various specialties (including the plumber who will be doing some work for us starting Monday morning), and folks who use them as daily drivers and for towing their camper trailers. The difference between the trucks I know of around here and yours? The rust....Dear God the rust. If it were me, and I had paid as little as you did for that F350, I would pull the engine and every usable non rusted part I could get to and salvage and then send the rest to the crusher. Between the engine and the other parts you could pull, you would probably turn a nice profit.
Ive heard axle wise the gas trucks used the same axle as the diesels. Theoretically if you found a blown gas truck you could swap in the diesel bits fairly easy. A dead engine older gas f250 aint worth more than scrap anyways
Well not Jeb I got to tell you. Just like when you go to the bathroom you supposed to wash your hands, when you get through playing with a piece of s*** you need to wash your hands hahaha

Now you gotta get a 6.8 v10
I have a 7.3 I got for 400 the ipr died so I have to fix it but the truck was running and driving I just ordered the ipr
never understood why people never wash their vehicle after driving in winter and getting sprayed with salt brine. if you cant afford the 10 dollar underbody spray twice a week you need to sell the vehicle
Be cool if you kept one of the trucks you get and fix it up and keep it for awhile do a build kinda thing
Dammm that's a he'll of a deal, can't find that here in ca
Great find!
Did you wind up selling the 6-speed Cummins?
