I have been driving that identical truck for 20 years now. 400k and still daily reliable.
You’re living the dream, at least mine, and I live vicariously through you, as I’m cooped up in a little apartment with no place to park even one car 😅
You’ll get there too! 👍
Love sushi, y'all do an awesome job on the show!
My favourite design of the F-series
When I was young & poor I wired a horn button into the dash of my '66 Chevy van to pass inspection--it brings back a fun memory. :) Also, having experience with trans, that tran is ready to disintegrate any second--stick the other one in asap.
What a beautiful couple with an amazing life🙏🏻🌈🦾🔥🔥🔥
Had a 93 F 150 extra cab that was a good Truck. Gave it to my Daughter Emily. Hoop there it is.
Sushi and 4x4 OBS love all the way!
Sushi..... good. wasabi.... good.
Ginger.... really good!!
Great grab on the 7.3.... best thing Ford ever made since the Model T
Finley looked so majestic sitting like a king on the truck passenger seat! :..and I'm glad to see he's out of his swimees.😊
90"s Ford Trucks are the Bomb!
I really like the sound of the 7.3 they just sound like they got in the power for days
7.3 Powerstroke.. AND a Manuel Trans.. AND ?? a Solid Front Axle.... BIG Win..
All the toys are a bonus I wish my women was as happy and smiled as much as yours, you guys are great and God bless you both.🙏🇺🇸🌏
I had a 97 f250 crew cab with the 7.3, it was the best truck that I ever owned
Nice find on the OBS Ferd.
I've got a 95 F250 XLT 4x4 with the 460/E4OD combo that I use for RV transport.
Yes, you read that right. A 27 year old gas burning truck turning 10,000 miles a month, towing for at least half of those miles across the US and Canada.
Except for transfer case problems on one trip and a few little nitpicky issues, it has been flawless. I just need to make sure to keep lots of dinosaur bones and ground gravy to it and it's happy enough.
The best part?
Payments are zero dollars per month.
When it comes to investing, nothing pays off more than educating yourself with the right information from the right source. That's how you get rich.
You're right, that's why I invested into assets like cryptocurrency and some stocks
Stocks are good to invest on, but crypto is more profitable
Crypto is the new Gold
I wanted to trade crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
@@ambitiousadventure1791 You have to get more experience first, work with a professional like Mr Dave Jevans on crypto to guide you step-by-step.
I got lucky when I was looking for my Ford OBS.
Mine is a short bed 4 door Power Stroke. I love it!
That is one rare truck! Awesome purchase!!!
Got to love the sound of a 7.3
Congrats on new truck. Sushi heck yes, that must have been spicy with all the wasabi. Love Finley swimming. Lol
Love the 87-96 ford f series, have a 95 crewcab dually and have my wife's 92f150 regcab long box she bought before we were married, actually used it for our wedding. Now it's rusty, again. That truck you got is like the holy grail up here in the rust belt.
Sushi and sashimi? Yes!
Aaron not using a jackstand under the back of the F250? No!!!!
He mentioned that someone would be upset about that 😂 he’s just always done jack stands on cars, not trucks that have plenty of ground clearance and wouldn’t crush ya 🤣
You gonna need a bigger shop! It's getting crowded in there! 😁👍
I'm so jealous, that truck is awesome! 😛
That OBS Ford is awesome
Thats a very healthy family. Love your OBS. Best of luck with all your repairs.
Now this is a fantastic purchase!!!! 🔥🔥
Nice end of the trip finding the F250 Power Stroke Diesel.... What was especially good on the P/U was the shortie bed, big knobby tires and all the power options even though the manual tranny had issues with 2nd and 3rd gear but that can be fixed along with the emergency cable and the horn... Solid rig for your utility work and running around......
The OBS ford is a thing of beauty ! There is a house next to one of my jobs that has one just sitting there rotting away 😭 . It has been there for so many years, everytime I see it I wish I could rescue it and bring it back to glory !!
Gotta smile every time I see Garfield :D
Emily Great camera work .love watching your videos fron UK x
You kiddos really know your stuff. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much and God Bless.
So jealous!! Awesome truck.. I haven’t seen one of those but I see a bunch of the old Fords around here in Northern NC in the country !! Have fun with that baby!! I love listening to it!! Take care Mike
Loved the shot coming out of the tunnel
There's nothing like having a truck that you can make a run to the dump without worrying about scratching the inside of the bed. I feel that there's three kinds of people who own houses, People who have trucks, People who know people they can borrow trucks from and people who pay people that have trucks to haul stuff.
Love sushi and nice f-250 tell lil mamma congratulations on her second win in soccer keep up the awesome videos guys my family and I love watching them
Definitely a big time sushi eater, especially on the "all-you-can-eat" specials night at my local restaurant.
Can't wait to see you work on the truck 😁
Digging the truck! We have great sushi out here, Mikuni's is the best if you're ever out this way.
Literally the one day I missed work and y'all came by the shop! Truck looks great glad to see her on the road!
You work at Burnett’s?! Lol! Thanks!!!
Love the truck and it’s the California roll for me! 😋
A good base, this little black truck.
That truck is awesome, and a good sushi roll makes for a great day.
You should install a train horn on that thing! 😄
Yes,the current horn is pretty weak.
That's what I did to make the horns work on my '56 Buick. The old horn contact at the base of the inside of the steering column was cracked, and new ones are unobtainable and require removal and replacement of the entire steering column, steering wheel, shift mechanism basically the whole nine yards. So yup, now I have that same black button under the left side of the dash where I can easily reach it. Works just fine!
Congrats on your new project i enjoy every minute of your episode 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Sweet find! My dad had a 96 Powerstroke that I tuned for him. What a difference that made. I miss that truck and especially watching this video and listening to that thing rumble, it brings back great memories. Such a great sounding motor!
So glad I found your channel 😊😊
Aaron, props on bagging a stellar babe. I think you are not a trauma surgeon like all mechanics today. You make all work seem like a job you know the exact tools you need to leave the toolbox with. I hate getting up from the creeper and then back down 15 times before my first loose bolt. Emily, you have a truly magnetic way about you. Your fearless and adventurous perspective does not allow any task to not be a success. You kill me that you are sooo suportive in the garage and i would have loved to ever meet a babe that liked wrenching. You are cute and sweet and i would bet a BIG network deal would be in your future. You two are a great team and everytime i catch a new video, i feel like i am sitting right there in the garage on a milk crate drinking a beer. Your videos are edited very well and your back grounds are always well thought. I would love for you guys to have a 1 hour tv gig on regular tv. Thanks for making me feel like i am friend. You really have a great denearor . Love you, love your show.
That sure means a lot to us, Luke!!! Such a thoughtful comment, we always hope y’all feel like friends! We appreciate each of you watching, and the kind words are taken to heart!
Much appreciated 🙏🏼

These are such cool trucks, you got an especially cool spec since the Super Cab short bed is so rare. I have a 1995 F-250 that's very similar with the 7.3 Powerstroke, ZF5 manual, 4wd and Super Cab too. Mine is an Oxford white long bed truck but it's just what I needed when I got it. They aren't fast trucks at all unless you really juice it up but they're plenty strong, it can handle about double the stock power before some pretty serious things need changed out. Instead of the typical cab lights you should try to track down a Lund lighted visor for this instead.
Nice truck for the money. Better hold on to this vehicle guys may never find another one.
I have a 2002 F250 4X4 Crew Cab Lariat 7.3 with lots of mods. Bought new will never get rid of it. Sound of a true diesel. Next mod limited slip front axle.
Great find. Those have really spiked in value here in the Midwest. All of us 40 something farm boys can now afford the truck we wanted in high school!
"You think I'll have more success than you?"
"ABSOLUTELY" 😂🤣
Just A hint, if you double clutch when changing gears it will make the change a lot easer.
Agree. Also give it a gentle rev like u might with a road ranger
Soooo, with out sounding stupid, how do ya “double clutch” ??
@@pauldoitcheap4343 makes sense….. thanks for replying 👍
You don't need to use the clutch.
Double clutching is for beginners. Once you learn how to float them, clutch is for stopping.
Double clutch it!!
Love all your content!!
Love it thank you for bringing us along 😊
Back from when you could tell it was a diesel from a mile away! Nice truck project.
We’re headed up to Mountain View, AR this weekend.
Good purchase! I've daily driven the same thing for 15 years only CCLB version. The rear brakes not holding adjustment is a huge issue. I manually adjusted mine for years before finding the solution. The stamped steel levers available today that spin the star wheel adjusters are junk and don't have enough of an edge to catch on the star wheel teeth. My last brake job, I swapped the levers from side to side on the truck, installing the left side lever on the right side wheel and the right side lever on the left side wheel, and it fixed it. Swapping them allows the very edge of the lever to grab the star wheel teeth and it works great! You'll have to hold the levers in your hand to see what I'm talking about.
Good info!!!! Thank you!
Great watch as always guys 🏴🇺🇸😎
Thank you guys always enjoy your content
The ZF transmission needs the shift timing similar to that of Eaton fuller 10, 13, or 18 speed.. Makes it much easier to shift.😎
11
I love watching you guys on your adventures 🥰👏
Nice truck! good work beast.
That's a great looking truck 👍👍🇨🇱
I absolutely love that truck!
Wasabi is good for the sinuses, haha. Very nice truck, manual transmission is a score also!
The box into the cab that bad tells me it's never bin abused
Nice video. If that's gas station sushi your the bravest person I know. Thank you for your time.
Big Diesel, deserves a better horn than the Herbie horn. Lol!
Now that’s an awesome truck! Love that body style. Look forward to seeing y’all finish fixing it up.
What a steal. All the parts are there
I love your videos and how down to earth the two of you are.
NICE LITTLE FAMILY''==KEEP ON ===KEEPING ON''
The horn button should be more easily accessed as the horn is a very important safety device…there’s a reason vehicles have it installed on the steering wheel, hopefully y’all will have an interest in getting into the steering column to fix it.
Happy Birthday to Aarons dad as well
I miss my Dads 1993 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Dually 2wd with the 7.3L Deisel non turbo put he did upgrade it with all Banks parts (the Turbo kit exhaust air intake and a few other things all done with in the first 6 months) that he bought new in my home town Milwaukee Wisconsin and as soon as we drove it off the lot drove it we drove it to Columbus, Ohio and on the way stop in Indiana to have the front seat upgraded (don't remember the brand but was not cheap and also had a cap installed aswell it was the style were the back of the cap was higher so a motorcycle (full dresser/bagger) would fit in the back also had a cb and dual antennas installed at RC Communications at some point aswell but no problems what so ever on its first trip and it is still on the road to this day dad sold it to a freind and it has over 500k on it now its a little rusty around the Dually tubs but still runs like a million dollars and boy do I miss that truck
Those 10.5 sterling rear axle brakes will be out of adjustment again in about 3000 miles. I replaced everything in mine twice and the self adjusting part just never seemed to work. The zf5 transmissions almost always lose that lower gear synchros too. I just got used to shifting slower! That’s a great truck and it’s already Dana 60 swapped in the front! Love it. Hope it serves you well.
Oh and to add, you should find a way to register it in Arkansas. No inspections here. You could get some of finnegan’s junk legal to drive in this state.
We want to buy property in Arkansas! Now we have a good excuse!!
Annnnd we started shifting at a lower rpm and the grinding stopped 😅
@@flyingsparksgarage winner winner, chicken dinner!
Looking forward to seeing more on the ford OBS
Awesome video you guys!!!
Thanks...Enjoyed your video
Those are a fairly rare bird as an extended cab shortbed. I have a 95 f150 extended cab flareside and I've often toyed with the idea of finding a 250 to throw that bed on
It's vary cool to see you have a diesel truck with a manual transmision!transmission!! I have a 2004 dodge 2500 diesel quad cab 6 speed manual!!
Cool truck.
Must be warm there girl 😘 you looking good 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Always fun to get something new to work on cool truck hope Aaron dad has a great Birthday
What a great find and a great price. Trucks have gone insane in prices the last two years
Good job
Sushi is good. Finley had a breezy ride and a cool dip in the lake. It will be interesting to see what you use the truck for.
I do like the truck ,If I could pick up one for that price here in NZ I would be very happy.
Nice looking rig. That would fetch some big money up here in MN.
I had a 250 with a 7.3 and a chip with 5" exhaust what a sweet truck
Lake Ouchita got filled back up after last night's (and few others in the last few weeks) rainstorms. Looks pretty full and ready for fun.
Looking very forward to seeing how this project goes. Mine is an 89 150 5.o. Same color. Keep having fun!
Great episode guys. I look forward to seeing what y'all do with this truck. A before and after chassis dyno test would be cool to see what your changes do to the beans in the old girl.
My experience with hydraulic clutches is that they all engage high up. We love sushi, wasabi to open the sinuses, ginger, and seaweed, and most Chinese buffets, especially those with all Asian foods...
I just bought a 2002 F350 7.3 supercab shortbed single wheel with 145k miles from the original owner for $13,250. Came with original window stick and maintenance records. Very happy with it.
I perfer the front ends on the OBS. Nice find, congratulations.
We’re I love that truck would go for double what you paid!!
Other than the few issues it has that's a sweet powerstroke
