But its a xl which means hand crank windows vinyl seat rubber floor mat your basic work truck package.What about a diesel swap in your truck you have?A 6.2/6.5 will bolt right in or a 12 valve cummins with the right swap parts.If you do look at it check the bottom of the doors and rockers for rust and the rear cab mounts.

Re: Not What I would love to do... But Necessity Out weighs wants...

yeah...I don't have the diesel as of right now... the plan is to swap a cummins into the chevy... Not Really Concerned about the interior... I Can Upgrade that...and Crank Windows Ehhhh No Biggy lol I was also doing a 4x4 Swap-in on mine... cause its only a 2wd... I have the dana60... but thats ALL at this point in time... and its not even a complete setup... no lockouts or stearing parts....

Having driven semis for a good chunk of my life, even used 7.3' scare me a bit. Economy goes down the drain if a turbo or a pump goes.

The 6.0 which started in 04 i think was kinda crap you might find one with a blown engine and just throw a 12 valve in it.I have seen some early gas super duties sell for 6k ish here i have thought long and hard about buying one and throwing a cummins in it.If you go 97 back the f350 had a solid axle in the front the f250 had the ttb but its beefer then what the f150 used.
