I especially love the flat bug deflector and vertical push bumpers. That and the full length running boards on a non-lifted truck make for one really damn useful workhorse.

I’m a huge fan of the earlier Ford IDI diesels, they are neat! They aren’t particularly fast or amazingly powerful, but they’ll get the job done and they are dead-simple.

I almost bought a 1994 F350 Crew Cab with a manual about 5 years ago . But some problems with the seller killed the sale.

Yeah, the frame was in mint condition too, not a speck of rust. I think it had roughly 200k miles.
