I've been thinking about selling my F150 in favor of an older IDI for years now. Problem is, most of those old trucks are beat to death, or on the edge of cavitation. I want the same level of reliability I enjoy with my 4.9.
There is always a Cummins swap, but that means cubic $$$.
I've been thinking about a '65-'67 F250 or F350, using my truck as a donor (it's pretty beat up too, and worth more in parts than selling whole). This would give me 7000+ tow capacity, and I could do anything I wanted to the engine, including turbo.
Question: How quiet can the '65-'67 cab be, compared to say, a mid nineties F150?
And, how would you build it?
