Good idea. $7k x 3 = what you’ll spend to make as new BEFORE engine overhaul.

The 7.3 was a 250k engine (B50). Engine hours and gallons of fuel consumed are already past that.

Anyone disagree, just go price ALL new wiring harnesses inside and out,
then ALL weatherstripping wherever it is found. Use the Field Service Manual. Every part number

That’ll be several thousand BEFORE you get to the rest.

Reliable = new electric. You have to keep water and dirt out EVERYWHERE.

The motor ain’t enough to justify it.

Crap steering, handling & braking. Very bad COG. You want a TT tow vehicle, this ain’t it.
