    I'm just blown away. You are a true craftsman! It took a tremendous amount of skill and patience for this! I actually have the exact truck I purchased new in May of 1997. Still runs and drives fantastic. I know you are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of your truck. There is just nothing like a 7.3. Thanks a lot for taking the time to post this. I enjoyed watching it immensely!!!

    Hands down my favorite Ford truck (of the modern era, at least): 1997, 4x4, Powerstroke, standard cab, stock aluminum wheels with the round holes, and a 5spd manual. I like white, but as long as it possesses everything I mentioned, it’s a gem. Thanks for sharing.

    What a truck! I salute you, and respect you for the time and work you put in that project. You gave new life to a tough, beautiful modern classic truck. It was those tipes of trucks that was more of a work companion than a vehicle, and a country was build on the back of those trucks. Bravo sir, love from South Africa 😁 👍🏻

    Beautiful truck. I love seeing OBS Fords still rolling on the stock Alcoa wheels, and not some idiotic bro-dawg 24s hanging a foot out the sides with skinny little rubberband tires.
    I've got two pacific green/medium mocha Eddie Bauer trucks. A 1996 reg cab short bed 4x4 with the 351w and E4OD, my mint condition "summer truck", and a 1995 reg cab long bed 4x4 with the 300 inline 6 and M5OD, my beatup "winter truck". Living in Iowa means you can't drive anything nice for like 6 months out of the year when the salt is out

    • @tylerbuck9347
      @tylerbuck9347 Місяць тому

      Friend: I wish for you to know this: Christ is the people's savior, and no one is their own savior; Most people ( including “Christians” are not on the straight and narrow path that leads to eternal life, but on the broad road that leads to hell; Good people do not go to heaven, but forgiven sinners do; those forgiven sinners are only those who are in the faith of Christ Himself, not those who live by the "bible rulebook", but those who obtain their righteousness in the One who makes righteous, through faith-
      Friends BELIEVE in JESUS to wash YOUR SINS CLEAN- and then REPENT your sins! Faith and repentance come in the same basket, or there is no salvation; Only by the name of Jesus the Christ the Son of God do we have a route of entry into the kingdom of Heaven. Enter into that perfect peace and oneness with God through Jesus the Narrow Gate, the Life, the Good Shepherd, the rock (foundation). We acquire righteousness unto salvation, through our faith in the Savior Christ ( roughly can be swapped out with the word trust ) alone. But faith that is true, and saves a person, is not fruitless ( non-productive ). That natural fruit of an apple tree is an apple, the natural fruit of a pear tree is a pear, and the natural fruit of saving faith is repentance and the Holy Spirit indwelling a true believer ( being a believer is not just believing in the existence of God, or in the existence of Jesus and going to Church on sundays, but being transformed and renewed as a creature by the faith of the Gospel ( the Gospel is the “good news”, of Jesus's death and resurrection to win salvation for believers )
      This is no game, and this hopefully was a very convicting read; this is a very summarized version of what you can read in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John-
      May Christ be with you 🩷

    When i ordered my 97 f250hd 7.3 new, only the xl and xlt models were available in the northeast. I wanted an eddie bauer like my 96 bronco but it wasnt available. Thats the best pick up ever made!
    I refreshed the front half of mine last summer. The D60 swap was probably the best thing I ever did to my truck. Gonna do the back half next summer. Great job. Thanks for making the video.
