Very cool little truck. Will be awsome machine. Mechanical diesel, very good apocolypes vehicle. Nuke or solar flair, that will still run. Could even push start. Everyone shpuld have one of those. Sweet!!

I have it almost ready to drive, I can't wait! Makes me want to throw a IDI or similar in a 05-07 super duty to have a super reliable easy truck.

@@diesellivesmatter 6.9l, 7.3l IDI are good engines. Even the similar chev 6.2l is pretty good. All million mile engines. But have to run, some 2 stroke oil or addive in the fuel to keep the pump healthy. Pre low sulfur fuel. Modern diesel variable centane non-lubrrcating garbage.

@@manbuilds1587 I typically run diesel treat on 2007 and older engines. One of the better reasons to build an idi is to run up to 100% wmo with cheap injectors. 300 HP is plenty for me and I'm sure I could get close enough.

@@diesellivesmatter dont need much for a daily driver 1/2 ton. 120hp 200ft.lbs good enough for cruising around 30mpg.
But need more power if towing anything bigger than tent trailer.

@@manbuilds1587 yeah probably going to build it as a tow away rig where you tow other people's trailers for money. I always go like 60, well 100 for you communists, because you don't know the condition of the trailer, so a little extra umph for hills. Single cab 2wd dually 5/6 speed lightweight flatbed and some tools/tires.
