Respect a true American truck, and that’s coming from a Japanese car enthusiast.

Line-x really got that color match right, at least on camera. Wonderful truck!

Its honestly crazy how quick these disapeared off our roads here in CT. I remember in 2016 they were everywhere. Now 5 years later you hardly see them unless its rotted out 2wd F150.....

Growing up my dad had a 7.3L DI Powerstroke and the earlier 6.9L IDI so that awesome clatter is the soundtrack of my childhood

Cassettes!! They're coming back someday! 5 months ago came across a 1984 Ford F-250 extended cab, 6.9 diesel, C-6 tranny, 2-wheel drive (they work just fine to ya know), 3:55 gears, 93k original miles, still has original '84 glow plug setup, will change it out when the snow's gone, to newer 7.3 glow plug system. Truck had been stored in a garage/barn in the Big Hole area of Montana. Only used to haul a travel trailer to-and-back from Arizona during the winter months. No rust, super clean, could park it on a stealership showroom floor. Tan with wide dark chocolate side paint, two-tone for that era. New mechanical fuel pump and starter. Tires less than 200 miles on 'em. A fun n' Classic From the Old Days of Ford diesels. Will have it out on the highways when snow's gone this Spring. My daily driver is a 1986 Ford F-250, standard cab, 4x4, 6.9 diesel, 4-speed, 4:10 gears, previous owner installed a Gear Vender behind the tranny, so in 4th-over it's 3:22, 181,500 original miles and runs like a top. If cruise at 60 mph it will get 20 mpg. Going faster of course decreases the mileage. I like the older Bull Nose Fords...one tough truck.

Crazy thing is, this, THIS is all I really want for a daily. My personal choice would be the classic 351 or 460, but this is it.

I was actually going to get a 460 and didn't wanna deal with a 7.3 but in the end I'll take my 22mpg and ability to climb a 7% grade at 65mph in 5th gear for the added trouble of owning a diesel in a super cold climate, i.e. fuel additives, radiator covers, block heater. my throttle response is pretty ass but that's just a old diesel truck thing. The first third of my pedal doesn't do hardly anything until it does, and you can feel the injectors kick in and the torque is all of a sudden just...there, haha! I just am astounded how my truck gets better fuel economy than my mitsubishi SUV, by about 4mpg.

@@MCatwar man aint gonna lie i get a about 7.5 maybe 8-9 gallons to the mile at best. Truck was used at big powerhorn ski resort here in ironwood michigan. Taken real good care of before i got my hands on it. Other than the gas mileage i have no complaints. Truck pulls really hard, I can get it to cruise 65mph no problem up inclines. Got the e40d , aod. Though unfortunately trans took a dump on me last week . other than that ( my fault for running it without fluid. Had a leak i wasnt aware of ) never had any issues. Always ran royal purple hmx, flushed coolant every 5k miles along with oil change, i honestly couldnt ask for a better truck. Runs and outperforms my 2011 ram 2500 work truck.

These idi’s can make it to 1mil but it’s pretty rare, but if you do all the updates, oil cooler rebuild, & cavitation fixes she’ll last a very long time. Mines got 211k & runs great, very little to zero blow by. These things are great, I’ve had the later Powerstroke & the idi’s are better. These idi’s usually last 500k if they’ve been taken care of. 1 mill is pretty rare.for an idi.

Beast truck. Love that 2 tone with the large stripe. Trucks need to bring that back.

Man I love those old F series with the 7.3. I had always wanted one ever since I graduated high school. Really awesome truck, thank you for sharing it with us

What a clean example. It's nice to see a unmolested truck as well. 👌👍

Finding a gem like this is SUPER rare. That truck is a tank. Congrats man! I’d never get rid of that truck. Not for any money lol

Put that in storage for the winter, and get it undercoating ASAP !

Ahhh can we get another video with a ride along ??!?!? So cool !!! Love this truck need to see more of it please!!!

Hands down, that was my favorite generation of Ford trucks. They just nailed everything with them. They looked and drove amazing(insert my old Ford bias) Great vid, guys!

This is an absolutely gorgeous truck. You're lucky to have it. Wow, I just can't believe the condition it's still in

Barely broke in! Gorgeous!

It's just about perfect! I have the same model Powerstroke in 1996 teal. Automatic (boo!) Worked a bit but is pretty clean for 200,000 miles. These are amazing trucks.

Oh what a great great truck! Beautiful!

Man this truck takes me back. I traveled the country in the backseat of one of these bad boys with my grandparents as a small child. After all these years the truck is still in the family and used on the farm.

Man what a truck. Makes me wish I had gone ahead and pulled the trigger and bought that 84 F250 w/the 6.9 IDI. Again sweet..😊

That truck needs a new home in Georgia, aka in my driveway.

I like that it’s your weekend vehicle. This is a great truck. Got to keep these legends around

From one IDI owner to another: Beautiful rig, sir! I run a 1992 F-350 dually with the same engine, just N/A instead of turbocharged. This will have to change soon as we tow an RV with it, but there's just something about the way these trucks sound; ride; feel; look. Fantastic truck! Do continue to keep it in good shape, and enjoy it while you can!

This is pretty much my dream truck.

I’d drive it a lot more than he does and park away from everyone this things a head turner

My OBS F-250 is also a long bed with the extended cab

Love the old OBS IDI diesels. Would love to find a clean one like that one day.

My absolute favorite all time F-series truck, love that you kept it all original. Would love the opportunity to put my hat in the game if you ever decided to sell it.

Over the last 42 years I've had 12 trucks and my 93 F-250 was my absolute favorite. Thick quality carpet, super comfortable captains seats. I could drive this truck all day comfortably. Big disappointment when I bought a new 2001 F-250 and paid extra for captain seats that I couldn't wait to get out of after a 3 hour ride, carpet was like crepe paper too.

Beautiful truck!!! Thanks for the share!!

love the truck, I've got a 95 and I still listen to my old cassettes.

That is a dream truck of mine! Amazing rig

Looks good. At 94K it is just getting broken in.

That generation of Ford trucks are simply legendary! I have a 96 F-150 ext cab w/long bed with the 302 with over 200K on it and it has been bullet proof. I can only imagine how well these trucks perform with a big block or diesel! My next truck will be this generation in the 250 or 350 with the diesel or 460! Beautiful truck... don't get rid of it as you will regret it!

7.3 idi zf5 4x4 eclb 90k miles. Beautiful rig brother!

That’s one beautiful truck 😍

Absolutely Thumbs Up truck here, love that engine! Would you consider getting it pressure washed then rust proofed? ( I sure would, to protect that body and frame from that cursed road salt ) It's a beautiful truck!

Nice cassette collection! I got an 81 f350 4x4 with 91000 miles, and damn I love that truck

That is a clean and well taken care of pickup WOW.

Awesome ride! I had this gen Ford when I worked construction as company trucks started with a 94 long bed 250 with the 460 as just a worker they gave me the same truck as the video(with the factory Ford turbo) when I became a foreman loved that thing I bought it when I left the company they where going to new Fords by then.

Hey this is a lot like my truck! Mine isn't nearly as nice but it's a 95' Powerstroke so it has some electronic controlled engine stuff but that means there's a better performance aftermarket for it too. It's so neat to see such a flawless truck when most of these were worked into the ground.

Awesome truck it'd nice to find them in that condition just wow

I love these trucks. I've been trying to find a good idi for a decent price near me for awhile

Beautiful Truck! Reminds me of my 95 back in the day.

WOW! Congrats! What a beauty!! 94k?? You're almost broken in!

Wow!! That is a beautiful truck! 🤯 It looks like it hasn't seen a hard day in its life.

I love that truck!

Love it, these OBS Fords are my all time fav truck, but it would be great to see a ride along. Though I did own a 93 F250 for a while. I purchased a few year ago just as a cheap runaround while visiting Virginia, owned it for the 7 months I was there and liked it so much I brought it back to the UK with me. I only sold it to fund a business I was hoping to start in VA but the Convid came along and well, yeah! But one way or another I'll have another, weather that's in VA or back here in the UK I don't know but I will have another.

Very nice example, can't beat classic Ford F-Series trucks. 👍

That's not rust,that's patina.Well Done!Not a Ford guy --but YES!!

I would love a truck just like this. Those '90s F-Series were the best looking of the 1980 generation. And the diesel with a manual? Sweet. I've actually started poking around for an F-Series with a manual myself. Just an inexpensive truck, maybe in need of some basic tlc (I live in an apartment, so I don't have a place to do more intensive work). But that truck is amazing.

Love how you can hear the turbo wine, just at idle.

Thats one beautiful old Ford brother.

That's dream truck material right there

Cool truck. Love how the owner had to back way off in order to be heard with the hood up and engine running. I admittedly don't know much detail in the history of Ford pickup truck diesels, but somehow I'm surprised this is a turbo model. Great job in keeping it looking and running great.

looks good! my 97 has the same bells and whistles as this but it’s a bit rustier and dirtier with 330k on it :)

My family had a truck just like this, just an XLT and had the biggest v8 gas engine possible. Every other thing was the same besides the rims and bullbar, of it wasn’t a manual either. I loved it so much, I’m trying to buy it back. I have tracked it down the service center it goes to and the town it’s registered in but I may be stopped dead now. Oh yeah it also had this amazing custom built camper shell that was so perfectly matched it looked so amazing. Sadly we live in Minnesota, and it was basically destined to a scrap yard when we traded it in. The guy who test drove it said it would be going to an auction, which I assume it did and someone bought it. There really isn’t a way they could have patched all the rust and the suspension was so screwed. It appears they didn’t drive it for like a year after buying it, maybe they just restored it somehow. I personally think I’ll probably find it beat to hell on a farm, but maybe then I would have a chance to buy it. I’m only fearing they lifted it and stuff and are emotionally attached. I hope some day I get to rescue it. For my birthday or something this year ima just go drive around in that town tryna find it, because I’ll have my permit on my birthday, well probably not that day but I will go when I do have it, and I can get a lot of hours done that way.

Looks like a great truck.

If those are the original glow plugs you should replace them soon because they like to swell and get stuck. Also, only use motorcraft plugs and get antifreeze additives for cavitation.

Grow up in a 94 f350 dually 4x4 crew cab 7.3 idi turbo,dad bought it new and sell it in 2012 for a brand new duramax

Absolute beauty!

Awesome truck still looking for my 1995 f150
