My 17 year old daughter won't let me get rid of my 7.3 1997 Supercab Powerstroke farm truck. I bought the truck a year before she was born so she has a fondness for the sound and memories of sleeping in the back seat on drives home. We aren't especially mechanically inclined but it is fun to work on it using RUclips tutorials. We are replacing interior door handles and the column shift now. The passenger door drop is the next fix. It's our project. Fun, fun. Love the channel! 🛻💨🤘🏽🖤🤘🏼
That’s awesome to hear, I appreciate the support. Good luck with the install!🤘🏼
Would love to see a King Ranch swapped interior!!!
Awesome work man! I’m looking forward to this series!
I definitely recommend doing the king ranch interior swap with the super duty mirror swap as well definitely worth it if you ask me
05 axle swap as well !
That part is question able cause he could go and do the 05 axle swap or he can also do the 1 ton military grade axle swap just based on preference really and what he plans to use the truck for
I like your tricked out high side creeper. 👍
I would do an E Fuel kit. Do stage 1.5 injectors and a KC300X turbo. Stage 1 if 3:55 gears maybe stage 2 with 4:10 gears. Banks intercooler. Rear 38 gallon fuel tank conversion. A stage 1 or stage 2 tranny. Banks 4 inch exhaust. New bellow up pipes. S&B cold air intake.
I say we throw all the sauce at it!! I cant wait to see this one done!
Heck ya love the content
Yeah I just went through that situation with my windshield got broken at work did not know if they were going to pay for it luckily my job did cover it but before I found that out I did some research with my insurance company you are correct it is a state law that your insurance will pay for your windshield without charging you a deductible but you have to have full coverage so if you have the bare minimum basic insurance they are not required to pay for your windshield that law is true only if you have full coverage anyways looks like a cool truck can't wait to see future videos
Thank you, good information to know!
Reallyt like your channel my dude. Im currently swapping a ZF5 in place of my e4OD in a CCLB 7.3 dually thats a centurion
Thank you! Right on, love a Centurion dually!
@@The73Garage yeah. Rare birds. Not many at all here in Sarasota
Palm beach international still open? Would like to bring my truck to the next get together
Come to the next meet January 21st-22nd!
This is exactly my dream truck, 94.5-97, F350 7.3 Crew Cab Longbed, 4X4 SRW, Recreational mirrors, the only thing it's missing is a 5 speed and Cab lights.
It’s a sweet ride, might to cab lights too!
I had the exact truck you mentioned, all the way down to the 5 speed. Great truck and had 3.55 gears so highway cruising was awesome.
@@centraltexasfoxbodies awsome, the other thing I forgot to mention is some Alcoa wheels and a vintage resin crystal knob on the shifter.
@@carlosvitela9622 I had the Alcoa for a while then went to 20 inch wheels
@@centraltexasfoxbodies I seen most guys tend to upgrade the wheels, but I tend to keep the stock wheels on them but with aggressive tires.
Hey bud new ro the obs 7.3 world love the handles and wing window handle info on where I can get them
Welcome! @jccustomscnc can set you up!
That’s my was my dads old truck for 17 years and yes it has seen tons of saltwater
No way! Was the truck originally from Florida?
@@The73Garage Yes it was
@@The73Garage He bought it from the original owner in 99’
@@austinisgood that’s awesome! Glad you spoke up, love to hear stuff like this. What part of Florida?
@@The73Garage Lake worth area
When you put an aftermarket steering wheel in your 7.3, what adapter and steering wheel did you use? And where did you get it from?
Dope 350! I haven't watched the channel for a minute BUT quick suggestion since I saw that ladder (1:02) in front of the truck is the Werner 3.8-ft x 1-ft Aluminum Work Platform and if you are pulling injection pumps on this rig or in the future Tekton makes a 9/16 wrench that is 30°/60° that helps to pull and install those 3 nuts on the pump and specifically the two on the sides that hold the IP in place.
It is a Werner ladder, always used them! I’ll check out the Tekton wrench!
Powerstroke don't have injection pumps, so that wrench won't help in this situation
@@centraltexasfoxbodies Ah ok I have a naturally aspirated 7.3 I didn't even think about that, great point!
That’s my exact truck here in California. I’ve done the Hydra, S&B, Diamond Eye, Pioneer flip head unit, CP headlight/Cab lights etc. Best thing I ever did was take the interior completely down to frames, dynamat full cab/door + Dynapad + OCC Carept w/sound deadening. Can literally here my girl whisper at 70mph. Did the RSK too which was real easy.
Sounds badass! The interior needs a cleaning at minimum lol
@@The73Garage Yeah mine needed a cleaning too but you know how that goes..pretty soon it was a full resto of the inside. It’s so quiet/comfortable though…totally worth it. Stripping the seat down to the frames was totally worth it.
@@cencoast_7.340 Most reports I've read say the only thing worth deadening is the firewall. Not true?
I live in The Bahamas and at the beginning of a make over on my 1996 Ford F250 XLT Extended Cab 2-Door 7.3 Diesel OHV Turbocharged.
The work you are doing is really impressive. Can you tell me what Junkyards in South Florida is a good source for me to go to for parts?
I will be watching closely as you do this new rebuild series.
Thanks in advance.
Right on Kirk! Best in my opinion is “U pull & Pay”. They have a yard in west palm beach and davie. I think you can even order their stock online.
Do you happen to know if the wing windows are interchangeable between f150 trucks also? and if the complete door is also interchangeable with the F150 of the same year? I have a 97 F-superduty regular cab that has damaged fenders and doors that I want to swap out but no f350 parts trucks in the area but there are a ton of f150 I can pick from.
What seat covers are those?
HAD BRAKE PROBLEMS (SOFT PEDAL) WITH THIS NEW PROJECT ?
What part of Florida are you located I got a 7.3 from 2000 and I want to do some stuff thx 🙏🏻
Hoping to make it out to the meet from Englewood!
Come on out!
@@The73Garage are you going to post up details here? I don’t do the Instagram thing anymore
@@foofeefog8908 shoot me an email seventhreegarage@gmail.com I’ll send the details over!
What junkyard you go to for obs parts
Nice! Just finished watching the vid at home. Where are you guys sourcing the parts for the build? Like for the fenders?? Need somewhere reliable I can source mine out from
I’ve thought about LMC truck but I heard the metals are different than what Ford used back in the day. Their bumpers are out of stock or back ordered.
Irate t4 swap
Where are you going to get your fenders from? I have been looking for a set but can't come across any, is that something you're going to order online or go to a local junk yard to find? Thanks!
Have to be quick at the junk yard for them, hard to find them not dented or rusted.
Bronco grave yard has a good selection of fenders as well.
How much you pay for it? I can't find a decent one for less than $15k
It’s a friends truck, he paid $10,000 a year ago for her. Have to find a one on a farm or grandpa owned for a good deal.
@@The73Garage For sure. The vehicle shortage is playing a part right now. I already have a 97 dually, just want to swap it out for a 4x4 and can't find any good trades.
@@sevensevenalways7995 super hard to find!
Do a regular mans build. Not a full bonkers build. No t4, no full built motor. Keep her simple.
That’s the plan! Just a lot of new OEM parts and a freshening up. Truck is used to tow and daily, just wants it clean!
@@The73Garage thats all i did. Kept it OG with many new parts, especially ALL harnesses and all sensors. It’s amazing what fresh does to a truck. Keep up the good work!
@@yourmama2299 even though I love the performance stuff, there is something about a stock OBS that is badass. Bringing these back to how they were back in the day is awesome.
Yeah, truck looks like Swiss cheese. But yeah good truck. 🤣
