You definitely have an affinity for quality older styles! Great diesel find! I got to see a 1950 Studebaker at a car show today. The gentleman had everything spit shined inside and out. I am always amazed when I look into an engine compartment and see so much space on the older vehicles. Looks like you may be able to bolt the bed camper in a lot easier into this truck. It may line right up without any problems.
I love a good car show! Great to see those old Vehicles still cruising around. 🍻👍
Nice truck. My 1994 F-250 4x4 IDI turbo diesel just turned 130,000. Original owner and factory order.
Wow, that is awesome 👌
Ordered it week of Thanksgiving '93. Super Cab XLT. Wanted the roof markers but I missed that they dropped them on the final order. Oh well 😄 Went with max overbuild, camper/trailer package with the E4OD 4 speed automatic
Sounds like a beauty 👍👍
Great video. I just got a 1994 f250 7.3 turbo. 360,000 miles still running strong.
That is awesome! Really enjoying this truck. Love the diesel, never had one before. Thank you for the comment and info on your truck. Here's to many more miles 🍻🍻
Thanks for the video! My truck has the exact same engine with turbo, but is a 93. It’s my daily driver. I absolutely love it, The sound of the 7.3 IDI engine it’s like music to my ears lol
Hey thanks for the comment. I just love this turbo diesel engine! I'm really loving this truck overall.
I highly you recommend one of your first upgrades for the truck is a “tru cool” transmission cooler. These truck are notorious for burning up their trans. I love my upgraded cooler and barely see above 170 now
Thanks for the comment and information. I will definitely look into one of those. 🍻👍
Mine had one when I got it, so I believe it.
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I'd for sure put one on it.
@Hunkler62, I have same truck w standard trans 5speed overdrive. Appreciate your feedback on the standard transmission.
I have a 1994 F350 crew cab XLT with the factory turbo,4x4 Dana 60 in the front 4:10 gears 5 speed manual these truck are rare mine with 365,000 miles and always starts up with no issue will upload video soon!
Awesome trucks, that's for sure. 👍👍
Great find. I agree that a new bed and the 8 foot Alaskan Camper would be hard to beat. Great find. Have a great week. 😊
Thanks Tom, much appreciated. Have a great Sunday 👍🍻
Your name gave me a chuckle while scrolling through idi content lol.
I appreciate your work resurrecting an otherwise rotting truck. I recently acquired a 95 f350 that was just being abused and im trying to help it heal but the budget is tight
Congrats on the F-350, and thank you for the comment. My biggest problem is trying to get everything sorted out quickly; most times, it's financially impossible to do it quickly. So instead, I start thinking of where I want to see it a year from now and 2 years from now and so on, instead of trying to fix everything next week 👍Good luck with your project 🍻🍻
That is basically putting the Cummings 5.9 in a Land Rover defender , looks a cool vehicle 👍
Thanks for the comment. It's been going great so far. had it fully loaded up with wood today and it's running awesome 👌
Awesome video! Love the enthusiasm for the OBS IDI. I have a ‘93 supercab with ATS turbo and adore it. Must say that it isn’t spectacular on fuel though, I get 12-14mpg average with a best of 18.3mpg us gallon
Thank you for the great comment. Much appreciated 👍👍
Mileage is a lot better than the 460 I had, that's for sure 😳
If you can hear the window motor operate, but the window won't roll up and down, the plastic gears and inserts are probable mashed up to nothing inside. There are several videos about fixing them on youtube by putting some nuts inside where the inserts were. Cheap fix, I fixed one on my f150 many years ago and it still works.
Just came across your channel. I've got a bunch of OBS Fords and I'm not far from your neck of the woods. Will keep an eye out for you!
Regarding your seat - that's a front seat from a crewcab truck so it wasn't made to tilt. You will find it has 2 ashtrays on the back as well for the backseat passengers. Same bolt pattern for the floor pan on both regular and crewcab trucks. I've actually switched out the front to back seats in my crewcab before.
Hi Ryan. Thanks for the comment and info. I was wondering what the heck was going on with that seat. Now I know, thanks very much!
I recently picked up a real gem.

“It was X rated I couldn’t put that on TH-cam” I feel you bro😂
Awesome truck. Your out West find a flat bed for that thing. Makes it a real work truck. Water pump and thermostat will be next 😋
I hope not but we are going to see LOL
You and I are from the same grain sir. Some things just make complete sense.
paid about $400 for my aluminum radiator and its a 4 core instead of the 3 core oem and it cools so much better.
Just when you think Meatwhistle has found all the gold....he digs deeper.
Haha, and more rust! 🤣
A flatbed and the 8ft Alaskan camper would be a perfect setup. You’d still get better mileage than the white 460 😂
Haha, agreed!
Love the truck Jimmie and very sound considering the vintage! Those damn Ford boxes alway rust around the rear wheel wells but otherwise it looks in great shape! Nice find and by taking off those hideous running boards it looks 100% better👍...it may well be a "keeper"....at least until the "next one"!
Thanks Gerry! Excited about this one, for now haha 👍🍻
Meant to mention...I live in steel toed Blundstone boots and recently after wearing a favorite pair down to flat soles with literally almost no tread...being a cheap ass I took a masonary grinder blade to the soles and created new grooves! Like 4x4 gripes in the snow again! Once smooth again....they'll be "done"!
Haha, that is awesome 👌 I will have to try that!
Cool
Talking about boots, i had a pair of Doc martin boots that had the slippy soles like yours, i contacted them and they sent me a new pair of boots made for snow and ice they were great just wish they were insulated better.
Red wings are great on snow and ice as they have great tread wear too (Vibram soles) Keen are great but the soles wear out quick on normal hard terrain. My timberland so far are tied with red wing as my favorites for ice and snow traction and treadwear. I have also purchased some yaktrax and they are pricless when it comes to ice and snow traction. Just need to find ones that stay on in deep snow
Hmmm, maybe I should contact them for some free boots 🤔 👍.
I've had a pair of Red Wing work boots and they were awesome. Yeah those yaktrax are amazing! Thanks for the comment 👍🍻
Cool little pick-up, I have a 94 IDI-T. You’re surroundings look familiar perhaps you’re close by haha. Also you should have changed to ELC while you had the rad out anyway 😝.
Thanks for the info and comment. Was in town that day :) Ehat do you mean by ELC?
@@JimmyMeatwhistle You need to put a special coolant additive in the cooling system or the engine can eventually fail due to cylinder cavitation. Extended Life Coolants (ELC) should have the additive already in it.
Evening JMW . I see this was a 6 month old video; but had to say Congrats AGAIN on "stumbling upon" yet another treasure lol. Truck is awesome & I am also shocked the layer of plywood covering every inch of truck bed revealed an extremely well worn metal bed. When u were under the hood I kept thinking "God I wish EVERY engine was made this way... SO simple...so accessible...you can fix most everything urself".... sometimes progress sucks, eh? Enjoy ur new toy!!
P.S. Did u end up buying the camper/trailer u were oggling at the end of video???
Thanks for the comment. Yeah, these old machines are awesome, and like you say, it's easy to work on. A friend of mine has this one now. I didn't buy that camper......yet, 😂🍻. I've pretty much lost interest in any new stuff, especially when all these rusty gems are out there!
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I'll take an acquired gem ANY DAY...screw the new.
PITA (my fiesty grandpa was quite the character so used it OFTEN .. screaming "PITA" = Pain In The Ass" to all those he loved..❤🤗
I did the radiator on my 93 f350 8 months ago got it for 350 on rock auto same one
Yeah I looked on there and they had nothing available at the time that I replaced mine. So I had mine rebuilt. No other option at the time
@@JimmyMeatwhistle ya it took me almost 3 weeks before I could get on from them too right around the same time u did your then I looked one day they had 1 lol napa auto zone no one had one it was a pain
Not easy these days getting stuff in general. 🤔
Damn son it time for new shit kickers lol like the vids from Kentucky
Curious as to what fuel economy you were getting? I’m toying with the idea of a factory idi turbo rather than a powerstroke for simplicity reasons. Preciate it!
I should have some info for you on that in the next day or two
16MPG Mixed city and highway. Elevation is about five thousand feet most.
They have blow by even if the engine has 20k on it. Now if the blow by is really bad I'd check the compression.
Looks like straight pipe arces old truck from, sask.
@Jimmy Meatwhistle - These are extremely rare, my family has an extended cab '94, XLT package, same engine and drivetrain, with 285,000 miles...... factory rating was 190hp/385tq, however if you start digging into the history of the engine, it was actually under-rated and under-valued because of the incoming PowerStroke engines, also with it being a 4x4, your #1 point of failure is the trans. The E4OD/4R100 was only designed to support 1/2-ton F150s, and only having 4 3/8" bolts holding to the torque converter and flywheel, believe me my grandfather had the original trans rebuilt twice, then 3 aftermarket E4OD replacements, all with 3 rebuilds a piece, so my suggestion would be to get a built one with a low-stall converter from Suncoast Transmissions out of Fort Walton Beach, FL or going with a full swap to a modern race-built 6R80 6-speed gas transmission (billet input shaft, HD output shaft, etc) and use a US Shift Quick-6 transmission controller........ as far as the Rearview mirror, its actually too heavy for it to last more than 2 yrs without having to rehang it, would suggest finding a rearview mirror that is lightweight
Also, something really funky............ The pigtail for the auto-dimming rearview mirror is actually tied to the Overdrive sensor for the transmission, via a suicide circuit, otherwise it will violently shift into every gear and not engage the overdrive. Just wanting to warn you
Great information, thank you 👍👌
ZF5 Solves the trans issue ;)
Zero issues with this thing so far. Fingers crossed
@@JimmyMeatwhistle unless you put it in 4WD….. that’s typically when we seen the failure, if your truck is like ours, with 4.10 gears, then it will eat the trans in 5-10 mins and start puking fluid….. otherwise you may never see it in 2WD for many years, so don’t be trying to pull out tree stumps until you figure out a comparable solution for a new trans
Know I'm late to comment but I got a 92 F250 with the idi
The seat to a four, door the back doesn't tilt
How’s been trying to find parts for this bugger? Because it’s been a bear for me.
Luckily, I haven't had to look for any engine parts other than filters.
So this truck will be hauling your 8' Alaskan truck camper? I love these old trucks, personally I have a 1995 7.3 Powerstroke that's pretty similar to the 1997 460 that you had before. I've done a fair share of research on them even before having mine when I was out in the market for one.
If you're hauling the camper and want to get gone for a very long time then the stock fuel capacity is a little bit of a concern. Other guys have swapped in a 38 gallon fuel tank that comes from a long bed Super Duty as well as a rear replacement tank for a similar era bronco that I believe can be 36 or maybe another 38 gallons. With that capacity you could really get out and away from civilization in the camper for a real extended period of time.
Hey thanks for the comment and information. I've heard about those larger fuel tanks, it sounds like the way to go for sure. Loving this old truck and this is my first Diesel and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks again for the info and have a great weekend 🍻🍻
i think that seat is a rear seat out of a crew cab
Thanks for the comment. You are right on that 👍
$1000 on a radiator? Geez what is it made of gold? I bought a brand new aluminum one for my 94 IDI for $255.
Had the original one recored. The cheap Chinese ones you're talking about we're not available when I needed it.
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Ah I see. The one I got wasn't chinese though, it came from Complete Performance who make tons of awesome aftermarket parts for these trucks. But yea I finished watching the video, and yea especially since you would've had to import it into canada you probably would not have been able to get it during lockdown.
