Nice job restoring it and getting it running. You don’t find trucks that clean in the Midwest, safe to say I’m jealous. You deserved it.

Thank you! It definitely was a ton of work to get it up and running right, but the results were well worth it. I’m so thankful this truck hasn’t seen the salt belt of the Midwest. It’s a shame that a lot of these trucks have rotted away because of it.

I really enjoy your videos. I have a 97 7.3. You have such a nice way of presenting things. you remind me of my wife ,she does a stream of consciousness type thing. and you are talking exactly the way I think when I'm working on something. amazing that you can put that verbally. My son follows in my footsteps. I have already told them about your channel.

That’s awesome! So glad you liked the video series. Good luck finding an OBS Ford, they really are great trucks!

The older I've gotten, the more I like leaving things looking original. Don't get me wrong, I still like tasteful modifications and making them more reliable with the appropriate additions. You did a fantastic job on this truck Cody! I hope that you enjoy it for many miles to come!

Thanks so much Wesley! I agree, there’s a lot of tasteful mods you can do to these trucks but there’s just something cool about an original truck. It’s gonna last for many more years to come. Might not be the fastest truck on the road but will certainly look good🤣😂.

Beautiful truck! I too believe in keeping as original as possible. We have a ‘92 OBS Dually. The only thing non-original is the custom aluminum diamond plate bed with a hidden gooseneck box for horse towing. It’s rarely ever seen winter roads here in southern Ontario, so next to no rust. Just rolled over 95,000km/59,000 miles. Every time we pull into a horse show, we get endless comments on the truck. My wife preps the horses, I polish the truck!

That’s amazing. Very rare to hear of an OBS Ford with less than 60,000 miles. Sounds like it’s in near mint condition. The fact that is has little to no rust living up in Canada makes it even more rare. Putting on the aluminum diamond plate bed was a smart idea. Thanks for sharing!

One of the best looking Ferds ever built. I wouldn't change a thing either. I still miss mine!

I agree Jason, these are becoming classics. Of course there’s a lot of mods that can be done, but I think keeping it original also helps hold it’s value.

Cody, that is a super clean beauty! If the dings bother you in time these paint less dent remover guys do amazing work for reasonable prices.

That’s awesome! These trucks are getting harder to find in good shape. People rack up 350,000plus miles and beat the crap out of them. Don’t think it’s too long into the future before these trucks become classics.

That is *one clean OBS* Cody! 🙂👍 You done a fantastic job with it my friend. Now is the best part, getting to enjoy the truck and use it. Its come a long way 🔧

Gorgeous truck! Eventually i want to find a red ‘97 with the 7.3L and a stick shift. I have a ‘99 super duty with the 7.3L and an automatic and also a white 2003 2500HD duramax truck so i have to get the OBS in red so i have the red, white, and blue fleet. My ‘99 is my daily driver, for now anyways. It’ll soon be parked and only come out for nice days. She’s only got 156K on her.

Thank you Mike. Nothin wrong with having a red, white, and blue truck fleet🤣! That sounds like a beautiful Super Duty. Those trucks are getting really hard to find with low miles (and expensive) nowadays. I don’t blame ya for wanting to keep it a weekend driver.

@@ydocproductions5593, that’s the plan. She’s a cherry truck. I’ll be doing a fuel filter on her next week. I change it every 10K. Plus i’ll be doing the AIH delete, a coolant filtration system, and a full A/C tune-up. Have to change the compressor because the pulley bearing is noisy and it annoys me. But it’s time for A/C hose replacement since they’re all almost 25 years old.

The 7.3 litre power stroke was and is good but 7.5 litre 460 gas was also pretty stellar too similar in power 230 hp and 445 ft lb torque

I agree the 460s were the power horse engines of its day. Really the only big downside to them was fuel economy.

Nice OBS! I’ve got this truck, ‘96 version Oxford White with blue interior, 7.3 , 150k. It’s my daily driver. Pretty much stock - put a reverse shackle kit on.

I regret putting the stupid headlights and exhaust etc on my 7.3 it’s so much cooler to just have a all original classic.
