Dave, I actually saw one a couple weeks ago. I'll try to drive by there this weekend and see if it's still out front for sale. There's been a 91 7.3 IDI 2wd crew cab dually for sale on CL in State Center for the last 2 years. Looks to be really clean with no rust. They say it has a bad lifter or something. It's been advertised for $1600.

I was driving 19k back and forth to work each year and this truck was known as the community truck for a while. One of my buddies took it to Cedar Point in Ohio, another one drove it to eastern Iowa everyday for work for 2 weeks, and my brothers would take it when ever they needed to go some where and needed to haul a trailer. I hauled my car to a couple NHRDA races with it too. One of which was in Pierre SD and it got rained out. My middle brother Nick used it to haul a 32' gooseneck to Chicago and Byron for races. It got 15-18mpg on his trips. The oil changes were getting real close there for a while. She's no show stopper but it hauls awesome and gets great mileage. Plus it's been really reliable.

Yes sir it would! My dad has a 91 F350 crew cab dually 2wd I put a 12v Cummins and 47rh in about 7-8 years ago. That was the best thing for that truck. No more replacing Idi's, and you can tow without having to figure out how to get up the other side. His truck actually had a turbo on it but those non psd 7.3s don't like much boost. His truck had two engines lose wrist pins but the third engine has 140k on the swap and had 145k when I bought it for the swap. It's still going strong too.
