Brand new but my truck aint!!!

Just bought an F350 but as you will read in this it is not exactly an F350. All the Frame/Chassis is F350 along with the drive train etc. The body is an F150. Funny i know......well okay it is down right weird.....but it is almost perfect mechanically. Has 7.3L IDI matched to a C6 trans. I am US Navy stationed with the guys here in Esquimalt on an exchange program. Enjoying the frequent weather changes and beautiful scenery. Thanks!

Hi Josh, that sounds like a very cool truck for sure.

Sounds like an interesting truck. Looking at your avatar I see F150. We'll just refer to you as the guy with the F200.

As long as everything was done right you should have a pretty good piece. Could have been owned by someone that liked the bodystyle but wanted it with a heavier package.

Glad you are enjoying some of the BC Beauty.

Two questions. Is that filter up to a coolant filter? Is it sitting on a 99 SD frame?
