Any OBS/IDI Ford Guys here?

I got a 93 F250 7.3IDI 4wd XLT factory turbo that I'm in love with, I've done extensive work to her, and found her with 78,000 miles on the engine, for me she's basically a new truck, but has some quirks and thought I'd see who else is rocking one of these old beasts.

For me, sure there are better trucks out there, she doesn't make that much power, isn't fast, although you can get froggy with her on the dirt roads, but I'm never going to tow anything huge, I just wanted something beefier than a half ton, that you can drive forever, with no def, no computers etc... for me investing in a 100% mechanical truck I was a solid choice- but wanna see who else thinks this way and pick some brains

I agree hundred percent. I have an 85 standard cab 6.9, 5 speed swapped sitting on 40’s. Ice replaced the body once after rolling it, this one’s getting rusted out so it’s time to do it again. It’s more of a woods truck but sometimes I use it for work pulling my mini around. I also have a 94 f350 dually with a dump flatbed and the power stroke, in all reality that truck doesn’t pull my mini much different than my idi.
