Engineering at its best. The farm truck looks like it could use a 454 connected to a 700R4! Did that to a 1986 K series Blazer.

in other news....
last week i decided to finally install the bucket seats i've had for the last 10 years, in the farm truck, mostly to get them out of the way in the garage ![]() so i spent a few hours fabbing up 16 identical brackets for them to attach to... they are from the rear of a honda mini van and the center console from a 94 F150 i've had for 15 years ![]() ![]() |

update on the wrecker... a buddy in town here gave me another ebrake housing as mine was unusable from the dry bearings
![]() ![]() but i did manage to find a guy with one from a low mileage tranny he got for his pick up and don't need it because a 4x4 has a transfer case instead of this ebrake unit, so he posted it on ebay! i got it for $500 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

pulled the driver side axle out last night... yep it's broke! but but not on the hub end
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() now to drag a magnet along the tube to pick up and shrapnel laying in there and pull the rear cover and check for and pieces in there and any other damage... if its all good then remove a good axle from the extra rearend that came with it and slide it in ![]() if that all works out then the next issue is finding a replacement side housing for the hydraulic winch that's broken too... ![]() |

LOL, I had a 91 F150, 2WD with the mighty 300 that got a steady 13 MPG. Highway, city, smashing thru the woods - 13 MPG. Winter, spring, summer or fall - 13 MPG.

Yeah, IDI - Indirect Injection. They did make a 7.3L Turbo IDI breifly around 1994 before the Powerstrokes came out. My buddy had a 1994 F-250 with a 7.3 IDI turbo. It was a great truck, tons of pulling power and not as loud as the Powerstrokes.

Nice find John! I love the 7.3 Navistar diesels (especially the Turbos), great engines. I am assuming yours would be non-turbo based on the year (I think 1994 was the first year).
