    Yep. Older gentleman hauled his 5th wheel a few times a year to the campgrounds and what not.

    I do like the look with all the trim crap removed. From the pictures you can't really tell but the paint is in bad shape. Need to fix the cab corners and bed fenders this summer due to rust and rot.

    Not seeing the fifth wheel, I see the gooseneck which is an indicator of heavy equipment. Good thing it's not chipped the 7.3s are not power houses for racing by any means. Towing they are amazing, take care of it don't chip it and leave it stock motor wise. This is easily one of the best most reliable engines ever made.

    Gooseneck... fifth wheel ... same difference in my book as far as towing goes. I won't be chipping or lifting this thing so hopefully it lasts me a bit longer

    I used to tow part time with a F-550 and it had the 7.3 with 330k. Ran great and had bad exhaust gaskets. For that truck to make it that long with guys beating the hell out of it and abusing it is great.

    Not much of a Ford guy, but that beast looks like it's in great shape. I've seen an earlier 90's model F-350 turbo diesel in my area lifted up with some M/T's on it. Pretty sick looking truck.

    Not too bad of shape. Thanks. She's getting the interior re done shortly. New carpet and headliner and maybe seats. Just tore apart the dash and cleaned all the dust and grime out after 20 years. New dash pads and dash bezels and switches as well.

    Nice! Theres Something satisfying about older vehicle resto's. Not a complete overhaul, but something that brings the life back to it.
