One of these just sold in my town for $10k with around 100k miles. It looked pretty clean and I was about to buy it, someone was faster. The week after I see the new owner pulling out of his driveway and the thing belches smoke and cuts out LMAO
To OBS makes sense cause after that body style it went to super duties. Every other one older has a decent name to go with it as well, so OBS is a quick way say 92-97
That's 9th gen you fucking dunning-kruger reject, and yes its OBS becuase it shares the same fucking frame as pretty much every F-series before it up til about the 60's or so.
if you think 1985-1997 isn't obs then you don't know what obs stands for
the dumb boomers that buy those probably have no idea the f250 uses the disgusting twin traction beam front suspension
the solid axle f350 is the way to go with the obs.
it’s an enthusiast/collector vehicle at this point. If you need a work truck and spent 33k on that instead of a newer 6.7 or even 6.2 gas Ford you’d have to be retarded. They just don’t have the balls or suspension or GCWR for modern load requirements
as much as everyone sucks the 7.3s cock they are not that reliable. Durable sure. but they break constantly and require a multitude of aftermarket fixes to be reliable. They were reliable 20 years ago so that’s where they got their reputation
imbecile take
no one but the fattest most arthritic israelite boomer cares about how a 90s truck "rides"
NO ONE is buying 30 year old trucks for "work" that involves "loads" at a fraction of any truck's capacity
>newer 6.7 or even 6.2 gas Ford trucks
lmao they will all be scrap long long before 351s and 460s and even 302s and even modulars become rare, much less 7.3 IDI and PS
I buy 30 year old trucks for work but they are nowhere near stock, it is far better to just run a 6.7 from dodge or ford nowadays as they just work without issue.
The only real issue with the TT Beam is it chews tires up.
No one gives a fuck how it rides, and almost none of these trucks are being taken to areas where the solidbeam axle is needed vs what the TT Does.
>as much as everyone sucks the 7.3s cock they are not that reliable.
They're more reliable than the 6.7 or 6.2 and don't come in a shitty wrapper that you have to throw away like the Cummins.
And even with their issues, and reduced load capacity they're way more easy to work on than anything after 10th gen, since you don't have to take the fucking cab off to service anything.
Can’t speak for 6.2s but the 6.7 is a damn good engine that has been around for a decade at this point. Nothing had broken for me and my miles running 6.7s
>Is it really worth it?
No. New trucks absolutely fucking MOG any old piece of shit the big 3 vomitted out in the 90s. Ford trucks are "good" after 2008, Dodge peaked earlier in 03, GM got their shit together with the cat eye.
Anything before that is nostalgia cope from people who didn't own the things back when they were new. Citiots if you will.
7.3l was never a good engine either. It retroactively got memed into being one after the, exaggerated, 6blow issues at launch. Duramax or anything 6.0 and beyond is good to go. Cummins if you want to pay a meme tax for a worse engine pretending you'll keep it forever even though youve never kept a truck longer than five years.
T. First gen enjoyer going on 20 years of ownership. Not delusional like the OBS/square body retards.
no
That's a clean model that was kept in a garage and has the 7.3, of course its going to demand that much money.
If you can deal without the 7.3 then they're much cheaper, with 351 and 302 models less than 5 grand.
The first thing Kevin is doing after he smashes a monster on his forehead is stacking spacers, an uneven lift, 24's, underglow, and a bad tune.
24s are excessive on an old truck like that. 20x12 is fine.
Puke
Obs belongs on alcoas
This, people who put big sick dopety dope rims in trucks should be throat punched.
Have another PC light, peg.
Is there a truck that doesn't look good on alcoas?
any light duty truck made after ~2004

sounds like it needs injector seals and a fuel filter

It's actually sad that your generation lacks so much knowledge.

This is a tenth gen you absolute brain dead fucking retard.
Dios fucking mio that woulda been $5k ten years ago.
Yes

LMAO holy tucking cope. 6.7l is probably the best diesel engine ever put in a truck you delusional idiot.
Can’t speak for 6.2s but the 6.7 is a damn good engine that has been around for a decade at this point. Nothing had broken for me and my miles running 6.7s
6.2l from Ford is probably the most reliable gas V8 on the market right now. Absolutely bulletproof.
>pumps 2 quarts of oil through passages before oil even touches a bearing
ok diesel creek, tell me a 6.4 is good next
>I'll take "what is an anti-drainback valve" for $200, Alex.
