She looks happy to be out and about!

And that looks like a neat old truck. I have a soft spot in my heart for old Chevy C-10 pickups. I learned to drive on a early 60's model with "Three on the tree."

Thanks, its a 93 Ford Super Duty with the 7.3 IDI engine (Cat engine as the Powerstroke wasn't until 94 which is when they introduced different SuperDuty models). When we bought it from a buddy, he explained it as the equivalent of a F450. It gets 10mpg regardless of if its loaded with a few tons of rock, or if its empty. With 53k on the odometer, she is barely broken in!

We had an old Chevy flat bed like that when I was a a kid. The only way it would ever go faster than 80 MPH was dropping it out of a C-130.

But it could sure haul fence posts and bailing wire.

I've kicked the idea around, but I want to do the inside and then I need to work the dump bed and repaint that. Heck, I've even thought about lifting it 2"... and then super singles instead of dualies.

ETA- Oh yeah, and I need a crash bar/ push bar on the front.

Either way its a keeper. I drove one of the next gen 7.3 duallies for a few years. Cam position sensor was the only weak part on that one. But at least you could change it on a back country road in Alabama with a screwdriver and a flashlight at 2 am. Then switched over to the Duramax when it came out. What a mistake. If I could find a clean-ish 7.3 Powerstroke for not a crap ton of money I would buy one. Buddy has a 99 that's over 500k on the original motor and trans now.
