Currently my choices for a daily at the moment are a 1987 F250 6.9 4x4 or the 1997 F250 7.3 OBS PSD 4x4.
Both are high mileage worked hard trucks and I love them both. The 6.9 is likely my favorite but it started off in the ground and the last owner took it skydiving twice. I use them both for work purposes and they are both sufficient although the PSD is nicer. The problem I have is I have to work on both of them A LOT to keep driving to work and I only have shop access on the weekends so major repairs are a problem. The main issue is between the two of them it’s eating basically all my weekends and I can’t focus on making things nice when I am always facing mechanical emergencies.
I know with time it will get better and they will get more reliable and the 6.9 especially is infinitely better than it was. It’s just the trucks are taking up all of my family and weekend time and constant emergency wrenching is getting old. It seems I may have to let one go and get a daily of some kind or long term store one while I work on the other and still get a daily. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on ideas other than getting rid of one because I like them both.
