Well i guess i will start a log of my truck from not till she is done. She needs a bit of work to the cab, but other than that it is a clean 1997 F350 7.3L Reg cab 4X4 with just 54000km on the clock! Picked it up a few weeks ago and i have been reading on here and gathering parts since then. I want this truck to be my tow rig, I'm looking to get the HP/TQ to the 350/650 range. Don't want to over do it and blow the engine apart in the end lol. Want to have this truck for awhile. Im thinking a chip, exhaust, air intake, stage 1 injectors, idm mod for the basic engine department. Also the usual gauges. So far I've managed to find a good deal on some SD stuff, going later today or tomorrow to pick up a mountain of parts off a 03 SD. the list includes heated leather lariat buckets, low km leafs (installed last year), intercooler, steering wheel. All for the cheap price of $450 Canadian!! Also have a line on a new to me dash, rear bumper (free of charge), sliding rear window, towing mirrors (west coast style), Also can get a set of SD axles from the guy who i can get the sd parts from for cheap, but really how much of an improvement is the sd axles over the stocker 97 F350 axles? Anyway here is some pics of the truck.
