1997 OBS Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Dream Build in 10 Minutes!

- I may be more known for car stuff, but I absolutely love trucks, too. In one episode, we knock out an entire build on my 1997 OBS Ford F-350 7.3 Powerstroke.
I've opted for a slew of changes: factory Alcoa wheels wrapped in 35" Nitto Trail Grapplers, along with a Sky's Offroad shackle reversal kit for the front and a shackle flip kit for the rear.
I've mounted a GFC camper from my friends at Go Fast Campers on the bed, and installed a Dometic fridge inside: I'm ready to hit the trails in this old rig. The 7.3-liter Powerstroke has plenty of power to pull this massive truck around.
Let me know what you think!

This build began my obsession with OBS Ford trucks.
That is an awesome rig. Clean 7.3s bring top dollar too. I'm a little surprised that you can drive that thing in California.
It takes some effort but it’s fun nonetheless
Everything is bringing TOP dollar now
@StanceWorks I literally have the same truck minus the spare tire and rack. Nice job
I wish i could post a pic of the one i just picked up. It would make alot of people salivate
Yoy know what happens when you roll a semi truck with DEF delete through the scale house and get pulled in for Level I inspection??.......nothing...it's not their job...that's EPA stuff and you roll right out. So I've heard...the one I ran with insane power....I was never dumb enough to get pulled in.
Over the years I've really become a fan of clean OBS Ford's and yours is seriously cool! Can't wait to see some of the off road/camping content with it!
That 7.3, is probably the best diesel Ford ever made. But then, I’m sure you are well aware.
Hands down
Ford used
Absolutely
I’m not a ford guy but I have a well loved 95 PSD. 400k+ it’s my very own little money pit. Love my 7.3
I love my 7.3 IDI
Life is not fair. What a beautiful truck you got. And me just fool of jealousy.
Admittedly, I never thought too much about those Ford trucks but you definitely have a way of making it interesting and cool.
I’ve been binging all of your videos to get to this day lol.
Me too, I want one! Even though I'm a chevy guy but this thing is just awesome, Ford or not lol.
Nothin like a clean OBS. Brings back a lot of memories. And as usual, Burroughs with great taste. Stoked for a follow up.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful truck brother. These are my absolute favorite. Hands down the best trucks ever built.
This is brilliant. Love to see your actual trip!
Such a sweet ride. Love it! ❤️
Those tires and wheels are perfect. 😎
Loving the truck! It goes nicely with the other projects!
You've achieved sheer perfection!!! Well done!!!
Been a sub for about 2 months now and you're crazy man, I fell in love with your craft. Keep it up dawg 👍
Hell yeah, love it! Have a blast and stay safe!
I recently started watching your builds the thing I have observed stancework build projects are one of most most refined and detailed and cleansed build. Just like an ASMR video. All the best for your future build. Love your work soinspiring they are. ❤❤
I got a 97 and absolutely love the thing.
That's an awesome rig!
Awesome! Beautiful truck! Can’t wait for videos on the road!
Excited for the annual camping trip photo post on SW, always one of my favorite posts of the year.
I love they way they look
Sick ride ! Love the old school look and the rooftop tent👌
Looks sick! What a dream to take that rig out camping in the mountains. Looking forward to your vacation footage!
Nice Job! I have the same exact truck, but in two-tone blue (139K miles). Your project will be my blueprint moving forward. Thanks!!
I've been waiting for this! Super excited to see more of this thing. Love full sized truck/tow rig videos
I'm neither a Ford guy or a big truck guy but this is absolutely on point! Such a beaut. Love the work and detail you put into every project.
Gosh I want it so bad! These OBS Fords are amazing!!
Top shelf content. Every. Single. Post.
Perfect setup!!!!
Cleanest trok I’ve seen in a while
that truck looks soooooo awesome.
Beautiful
Dream truck man! So so cool, hope you had a great trip!
Man that thing is beauty
Just saw your Video, Very Clean OBS Truck! 100% know the feeling on owning one of these 7.3's. I have a 95 that is very similar to yours. I had to do a double take when I saw this video come up! I got mine in 04 and it's been by far the best vehicle I've owned. best of all....smog exempt here in California!
So clean
Thats a cool truck! Have a good trip!
Man the GFC in the bed of the truck really give you a sense of it’s scale; the GFC covered the entire roof of the FJ60
Definitely. This truck is HUGE!
Such a sick video about an even more sick truck
Great rig
That’s a bad ass truck. Worth every penny to keep it going on the road. I have a 2002 Chevy 1500hd. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve put a lot of money into it in the past years to make it great again and the only thing I want to do is keep making it better. As much as the brand new stuff is nice, they aren’t the same.
I love your build....I have a beat on 97 f350 crew 4x4..gas 351..still going strong ,has served me well,...never lifted it because I work it, the bed height....but you built my dream overlander..almost...
The truck looks awesome! man
That truck is sweet!
Cool build man.
Excellent 👌🏼
Absolutely awesome truck and a very nice build, I have a 95 f150 reg cab short box 4x4 that im going to part with so I can upgrade to one like yours, mines just not heavy enough and I want a truck camper, you have to love these older Fords, the nicest looking truck on the planet. Greetings from BC Canada
sweet truck!
I want one. Insane Truck
I wish that I wouldn’t have seen this. So cool.
Great truck and video! i have the same truck only thing i did with my truck is the front universal kit. You gave me a lot of good ideas! OBS forever!! lol
I have a dirtymax but I have always love these, always will
I'm a powerstroke guy i have a 99 7.3 and a 2020 6.7 powerstroke. The cateye LBZ duramax will always have a place in my heart
I love these trucks, had 3 of them. A 97 regular cab 350 and two 96 crew cab 350s, all 7.3 4x4s and one of the crew cabs had a 5spd. That truck was in beautiful shape but it eventually had a problem of not charging the batteries when it was cold out. I gave up and sold it but damn was it a nice truck
Very nice
Love these trucks
Perfection!
Awesome. I need to do the reversal. Getting new turbo and controller in 2 weeks! Can't wait shes at 130k.
My DREAM truck.
Daaang you got a DREAM TRUCK 💯🤘🏽
I don’t know why but out of all the cars and builds. This truck has jumped to top 3 for me. Maybe it’s because my dad had one. Or maybe because I am in this old school truck phase. Idk man but thanks for sharing!
I love hearing that! There's still plenty more to do on this old thing.
I got the same truck except 2 door 8 Ft bed, it was my grandfathers truck looks a lot like it I can’t wait to upgrade it. Going to be amazing 😁.
wish getting an OBS in the uk was easy. love it
The truck is site of beauty
You just built my wife's dream truck! She currently drives a 1990 F250 Supercab 4x4 IDI 7.3 and she is looking at mid-90's F350's as I type this. Nice build!
Did you guys ever find a truck?
I miss the FJ60 but I love the truck as well. Nice work.
Nice looking truck. Nothing like Idaho for getting away from it all. Have a great trip.
perfection
Appreciated!
Very..nice..truck.
OBS FTW!!!
Sick AF
I have a hard style tonneau cover on my truck. I’ve been wanting to incorporate some rails on the underside of it so I could slide boat style canvas on it. Have zip up windows and magnets on the bottom to keep it from flopping around the outside.
Nice truck! That era of F-250/350 is my absolute favorite. I still like the '56 for a lighter duty truck.
My current rig is a Y2k F-250 super-cab, which I plan on never getting rid of unless I'm forced.
Nice work...bought my first diesel truck last yr (2020 Colorado ZR2 off road pack) and use it as a daily and love it. Recently took it on trails which was addictive so def looking forward to some off road content.
define "off road"
@@paynefulmechanix9675 ok
Happy birthday. your truck is beautiful and very practical. Show off your mounts, Stancey. very good.
Nice !!! I go built some like that but short bed
this this is so sick, i love ford square bodies. had to find them not rusted out in the north east. If you are gonna be in Northern Idaho you should hit up the Grind Hard Plumbing co guys. if you don't know them, they don't do plumbing. Ethan is a DIY master fabricator and they build insane vehicles. Fully fabbed up from the ground up gokart builds that fit power wheels, a turbo BMW off road UTE, exoskeleton rock crawler tacoma, 13b powered drift trike, 2jz powered 70s lawn tractor. you both have amazing eye for detail, ingenuity and knowledge. not saying go film stuff with them but i think you guys would get along and just geek out over fabrication. also the stuff he produces out 70 year old mountain shack garage is crazy.
That is my dream truck too!
That is absolutely awesome!!! Far too big for our little roads in the UK but DAMN it’s cool 😎
Enit, that thing wouldn’t make it round corners in london lol
Its a holy grail truck man... a Ferrari and a 7.3 power stroke... how can you go wrong! Now i'm even more jealous! Only thing I'd change is the front trucker hat bill, love the marker lights on the roof but don't like the roof spoiler... but to each their own lol.
god this is making me excited to make something similar
Good for you bud.
Need to bring that thing to the NoBsOBS truck show in Albany OR in August!
Hell yeah man, you've made an awesome looking truck! Which I'm guessing will also perform well but I'm not that familiar with trucks in general
Awesome truck, I have the exact same truck except mine is the 1997 two-wheel drive single-wheel 1-ton version. My second truck is a 1997 F350 7.3 single cab 4x4 flat deck, Only problem is there is only 24 hours in a day,,,. you did a great job.
One day I'll get my dream of this
Man I haven’t seen you’re face in like 6 years. I use to have a printed picture of the slammed Cadillac from like 2014 in my office … pleasant surprise
I dont know anything about diesels, but I do know ow that the 7.3 is one of the best diesels Ford or anyone has made.
NICE
Tastefully modified
Love it. I have a 96 and 94 1/2 powerstroke. But the front is higher then the back on yours. You might need a bigger block back there
This or an extended cab is my dream truck
nice rig! we have a 99 cclb, also in white and love it. slightly different tack, we've gone for tons of power/engine upgrades and use a slide in camper for accommodations all over colorado. (power upgrades are very handy up i70). if you've ever looking for a reliable 600+hp combo DM me and i'll let you know what i've done.
Hell yeah ford
Alway's love the gen. of truck
Fck yeah. That intro song got me IN THE MOOD!
She’s beautiful
Overland content, yes please
Very nice I have the same trok but is very stoke I will like to bring it up just like this
It needs a winch so hard😁
Nice truck i do like plain white i would love a one to tow my 30ft travel trailer but for every day driving it would be a nightmare here in the UK.
