This 31K Mile 1993 Ford F350 OBS 7.3 IDI Diesel Dually was the Last Great Mechanical Diesel Truck

There's no question that turbos and advanced electronics made diesels more potent in the horsepower and torque department, but there's something to be said for a true all-mechanical diesel. The 7.3 IDI from International Harvester (or Navistar by 1993) is widely considered to be a benchmark for pickup and medium-duty truck engines, and is legendary amongst diesel enthusiasts for being long lived, reliable, and simple to keep going.

This is a 1993 Ford F350 DRW - the last to use a naturally aspirated 7.3 IDI. It's a rare find, having been kept in air conditioned storage since new, and driven sparingly by it's one prior owner. Most of these trucks worked very hard for a living - this one had a very soft life.
