1997 OBS Ford 7.3 Powerstroke Dream Build in 10 Minutes!

[@douglasquaid2548]

This build began my obsession with OBS Ford trucks.

[@pkt1213]

That is an awesome rig. Clean 7.3s bring top dollar too. I'm a little surprised that you can drive that thing in California.

[@stanceworks]

It takes some effort but it’s fun nonetheless

[@Zzus321]

Everything is bringing TOP dollar now

[@408eltoro]

@StanceWorks I literally have the same truck minus the spare tire and rack. Nice job

[@-MOYST-]

I wish i could post a pic of the one i just picked up. It would make alot of people salivate

[@adamfrbs9259]

Yoy know what happens when you roll a semi truck with DEF delete through the scale house and get pulled in for Level I inspection??.......nothing...it's not their job...that's EPA stuff and you roll right out. So I've heard...the one I ran with insane power....I was never dumb enough to get pulled in.

[@davidm.d.hyskell8983]

That 7.3, is probably the best diesel Ford ever made. But then, I’m sure you are well aware.

[@-MOYST-]

Hands down

[@aceinternational4788]

Ford used

[@bladeofduke1209]

Absolutely

[@youngmike8645]

I’m not a ford guy but I have a well loved 95 PSD. 400k+ it’s my very own little money pit. Love my 7.3

[@2ndspingarage]

I love my 7.3 IDI

[@tonycrispin]

Over the years I've really become a fan of clean OBS Ford's and yours is seriously cool! Can't wait to see some of the off road/camping content with it!

[@c2specmotoring]

Admittedly, I never thought too much about those Ford trucks but you definitely have a way of making it interesting and cool. I’ve been binging all of your videos to get to this day lol.

[@weirdbeardgarage]

Me too, I want one! Even though I'm a chevy guy but this thing is just awesome, Ford or not lol.

[@mikebiondino8591]

Nothin like a clean OBS. Brings back a lot of memories. And as usual, Burroughs with great taste. Stoked for a follow up.

[@stanceworks]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@globeboards]

Beautiful truck brother. These are my absolute favorite. Hands down the best trucks ever built.

[@nyalsewell]

Man the GFC in the bed of the truck really give you a sense of it’s scale; the GFC covered the entire roof of the FJ60

[@stanceworks]

Definitely. This truck is HUGE!

[@tim619guy]

I don’t know why but out of all the cars and builds. This truck has jumped to top 3 for me. Maybe it’s because my dad had one. Or maybe because I am in this old school truck phase. Idk man but thanks for sharing!

[@stanceworks]

I love hearing that! There's still plenty more to do on this old thing.

[@dimitrius7311]

Life is not fair. What a beautiful truck you got. And me just fool of jealousy.

[@bl00dh4nd4]

Been a sub for about 2 months now and you're crazy man, I fell in love with your craft. Keep it up dawg 👍

[@michaelsapp3182]

Those tires and wheels are perfect. 😎

[@ruirodrigues9122]

Nice work...bought my first diesel truck last yr (2020 Colorado ZR2 off road pack) and use it as a daily and love it. Recently took it on trails which was addictive so def looking forward to some off road content.

[@paynefulmechanix9675]

define "off road"

[@ruirodrigues9122]

@@paynefulmechanix9675 ok

[@blessonmathew4797]

I recently started watching your builds the thing I have observed stancework build projects are one of most most refined and detailed and cleansed build. Just like an ASMR video. All the best for your future build. Love your work soinspiring they are. ❤❤

[@racerx2084]

That’s a bad ass truck. Worth every penny to keep it going on the road. I have a 2002 Chevy 1500hd. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve put a lot of money into it in the past years to make it great again and the only thing I want to do is keep making it better. As much as the brand new stuff is nice, they aren’t the same.

[@gherasimtibi]

I have a dirtymax but I have always love these, always will

[@dieselnut2369]

I'm a powerstroke guy i have a 99 7.3 and a 2020 6.7 powerstroke. The cateye LBZ duramax will always have a place in my heart

[@jdwxly]

You just built my wife's dream truck! She currently drives a 1990 F250 Supercab 4x4 IDI 7.3 and she is looking at mid-90's F350's as I type this. Nice build!

[@james_jr]

Did you guys ever find a truck?

[@jamesj5469]

I love they way they look

[@knuttsackjones3094]

I love these trucks, had 3 of them. A 97 regular cab 350 and two 96 crew cab 350s, all 7.3 4x4s and one of the crew cabs had a 5spd. That truck was in beautiful shape but it eventually had a problem of not charging the batteries when it was cold out. I gave up and sold it but damn was it a nice truck

[@witchcraftauto]

I'm neither a Ford guy or a big truck guy but this is absolutely on point! Such a beaut. Love the work and detail you put into every project.

[@robthomas3664]

Nice truck! That era of F-250/350 is my absolute favorite. I still like the '56 for a lighter duty truck. My current rig is a Y2k F-250 super-cab, which I plan on never getting rid of unless I'm forced.

[@bcw1011]

Just saw your Video, Very Clean OBS Truck! 100% know the feeling on owning one of these 7.3's. I have a 95 that is very similar to yours. I had to do a double take when I saw this video come up! I got mine in 04 and it's been by far the best vehicle I've owned. best of all....smog exempt here in California!

[@itsstocky1955]

That's an awesome rig!

[@KlimpProduction]

Looks sick! What a dream to take that rig out camping in the mountains. Looking forward to your vacation footage!

[@FreelanceSazabi]

Excited for the annual camping trip photo post on SW, always one of my favorite posts of the year.

[@yjk7676]

I got the same truck except 2 door 8 Ft bed, it was my grandfathers truck looks a lot like it I can’t wait to upgrade it. Going to be amazing 😁.

[@lancetaylor7526]

Loving the truck! It goes nicely with the other projects!

[@smileycamel5635]

I love your build....I have a beat on 97 f350 crew 4x4..gas 351..still going strong ,has served me well,...never lifted it because I work it, the bed height....but you built my dream overlander..almost...

[@jpmeyer-fc1qo]

Nice Job! I have the same exact truck, but in two-tone blue (139K miles). Your project will be my blueprint moving forward. Thanks!!

[@joshuaoqquendoandino2236]

I got a 97 and absolutely love the thing.

[@bernmarx8558]

this this is so sick, i love ford square bodies. had to find them not rusted out in the north east. If you are gonna be in Northern Idaho you should hit up the Grind Hard Plumbing co guys. if you don't know them, they don't do plumbing. Ethan is a DIY master fabricator and they build insane vehicles. Fully fabbed up from the ground up gokart builds that fit power wheels, a turbo BMW off road UTE, exoskeleton rock crawler tacoma, 13b powered drift trike, 2jz powered 70s lawn tractor. you both have amazing eye for detail, ingenuity and knowledge. not saying go film stuff with them but i think you guys would get along and just geek out over fabrication. also the stuff he produces out 70 year old mountain shack garage is crazy.

[@sws5833]

Absolutely awesome truck and a very nice build, I have a 95 f150 reg cab short box 4x4 that im going to part with so I can upgrade to one like yours, mines just not heavy enough and I want a truck camper, you have to love these older Fords, the nicest looking truck on the planet. Greetings from BC Canada

[@jamiegale8315]

That is absolutely awesome!!! Far too big for our little roads in the UK but DAMN it’s cool 😎

[@A4ANT]

Enit, that thing wouldn’t make it round corners in london lol

[@Weissenschenkel]

Such a sweet ride. Love it! ❤️

[@jmhoug]

Gosh I want it so bad! These OBS Fords are amazing!!

[@jerryetcittyjr3361]

Very..nice..truck.

[@ronsilva516]

The truck is site of beauty

[@suprman810]

I wish that I wouldn’t have seen this. So cool.

[@kidaddisontx6542]

Great truck and video! i have the same truck only thing i did with my truck is the front universal kit. You gave me a lot of good ideas! OBS forever!! lol

[@johnreilly4877]

Cleanest trok I’ve seen in a while

[@arcadiagreen150]

I dont know anything about diesels, but I do know ow that the 7.3 is one of the best diesels Ford or anyone has made.

[@MdmehediHasan-ey6ys]

Beautiful

[@cameron1328]

Awesome. I need to do the reversal. Getting new turbo and controller in 2 weeks! Can't wait shes at 130k.

[@racerx2084]

I have a hard style tonneau cover on my truck. I’ve been wanting to incorporate some rails on the underside of it so I could slide boat style canvas on it. Have zip up windows and magnets on the bottom to keep it from flopping around the outside.

[@scottpunt7854]

Need to bring that thing to the NoBsOBS truck show in Albany OR in August!

[@marcusesteves3120]

Man I haven’t seen you’re face in like 6 years. I use to have a printed picture of the slammed Cadillac from like 2014 in my office … pleasant surprise

[@weldingwelder]

Man that thing is beauty

[@seamusofarrell5683]

that truck looks soooooo awesome.

[@benlancaster1391]

Top shelf content. Every. Single. Post.

[@tommiebartley3081]

Its a holy grail truck man... a Ferrari and a 7.3 power stroke... how can you go wrong! Now i'm even more jealous! Only thing I'd change is the front trucker hat bill, love the marker lights on the roof but don't like the roof spoiler... but to each their own lol.

[@scottc0510]

You've achieved sheer perfection!!! Well done!!!

[@yossarian3]

Nice looking truck. Nothing like Idaho for getting away from it all. Have a great trip.

[@debravale3648]

I’m being took I feel I’ve how your search and how it looks I’m not wanting to put a slide on camper and I want to live in it for the rest of my life hopefully as long as I can get around in it I love the truck I absolutely love the truck just like you I don’t want to give up the truck my kids all want me to just get rid of it and junk it I’m not doing that I love my truck I’m in Kentucky ….

[@benrodriques]

Hope you still have the truck. I love mine.

[@emillund2644]

Dream truck man! So so cool, hope you had a great trip!

[@shawnshan9817]

This is brilliant. Love to see your actual trip!

[@hectorfabio4149]

Sick AF

[@keithwright586]

Love it. I have a 96 and 94 1/2 powerstroke. But the front is higher then the back on yours. You might need a bigger block back there

[@miraclervs]

Beautiful man. Working on my build right now. I've just got a 97 crew cab short bed. Did you end up doing 2" or 4" lift? I was wanting to do 4" but I've heard people have trouble with the drive shaft length...

[@backseatdriver4833]

Awesome! Beautiful truck! Can’t wait for videos on the road!

[@sergeiopeshko5372]

Excellent 👌🏼

Can't stop desire this OBS long bed. BTY,anybody knows the background music?Fascinated

[@blueberrythedelsol]

Sick ride ! Love the old school look and the rooftop tent👌

[@oldgeeser]

Awesome truck, I have the exact same truck except mine is the 1997 two-wheel drive single-wheel 1-ton version. My second truck is a 1997 F350 7.3 single cab 4x4 flat deck, Only problem is there is only 24 hours in a day,,,. you did a great job.

[@justinmtbiking]

FYI NO LIFT IS NEEDED TO FIT 315/75/16s on the truck. I have a 97 with factor suspension, factory wheels and 35s and all you need to do is trim the bumper tabs just a hair. I also spaced the bumper about .5 inch and it’s perfect. It rubs on full lock on the leaf spring, but that’s inevitable due to the offset of the wheel. Just thought I’d put this here

[@gregoryfortenberry741]

Very nice

[@77magnuss]

That truck is sweet!

[@baacani]

I miss the FJ60 but I love the truck as well. Nice work.

[@christianvann4222]

Thats a cool truck! Have a good trip!

[@ujointoffroad]

Perfect setup!!!!

[@T_Schnydz]

I'm back, 10 months later. Still my dream truck, getting closer to buying one, eventually.

[@sergiopereira1696]

Happy birthday. your truck is beautiful and very practical. Show off your mounts, Stancey. very good.

[@josejaz76]

Very nice I have the same trok but is very stoke I will like to bring it up just like this

[@frenchfryfarmer436]

Thats an aircraft carrier. I had a 2002 7.3 cclb (chassis cab) 350 dually. I singled it out with 19.5s at the time I needed 4 doors. Kids older now. I run E350s or single/extended cabs.

[@ek6648]

Im looking at a 94 XL Ext Cab F250 with 351 Windsor gasoline engine. Looks pretty good, some dents... Just standard "damage". Might need some new paint on some parts some time but overal a beauty with 157k so not nearly as new. It only needs a Dutch plate so it will cost me little more as its just like it was in America.

[@jairoorellana2087]

The truck looks awesome! man

[@LNSPLTBLVD]

perfection

[@stanceworks]

Appreciated!

[@MrSkuttlebutt]

I've been waiting for this! Super excited to see more of this thing. Love full sized truck/tow rig videos

[@pineappleguy1757]

One day I'll get my dream of this

[@FASTMONKEYHTX]

Nice !!! I go built some like that but short bed

[@juniorlangi3832]

Daaang you got a DREAM TRUCK 💯🤘🏽

Good for you bud.

So clean

[@zeenmuch90]

Cool build man.

[@the_rhysiko4941]

I want one. Insane Truck

[@nicktracy4118]

I know obs guys don’t want to hear this especially the 7.3 lovers but these new 6.7’s are pulling 45000lbs that’s semi weight that obs would blow up if it tried to pull that long distance

[@Brett_Nebraska]

Dang this is exactly what I'm looking for right now, if you know any good sites to watch for one let me know.

[@billramsey7455]

Love these trucks

[@Tht1Dude]

Tastefully modified

[@TTOVB24]

This or an extended cab is my dream truck

[@Skiridr22]

Great rig

[@dougiefresh3877]

This is awesome. Do you have any more detail of the suspension parts? OBS springs or super duty and what size SRK?

[@CosmicCreationsDIY]

"Arrive at camp and leave camp in a heat beat" ...mind you everyone in the camp ground will know when you arrive or leave in that beast haha i have to turn mine off at the drive through to hear the person haha

[@matthewschiebout7384]

Those rims are much too narrow for the tires but it was a neat thought...also, what about traction enhancements? Lockers? Limited slip rebuild? Rear sway bar removal, if it has one?

[@hokayleesan]

sweet truck!

[@BO-yf2ku]

This thing looks like sipping gaz while sitting 😂 no lie cleen truck!!!
