Those OBS Fords are great trucks. My 94 F350 351W has been super reliable, and it's had quite a hard life.

It was bought new in 94 by a construction company owner, and traveled from job site to job site, and doing some material hauling. Afterwards it was sold to a landscaping company where it pulled trailers and hauled brush. It was then sold to another landscaping company where it was used as a commercial plow truck and a maintenance vehicle.

When I bought it, I used it for commercial plowing for a few years. There would be days where I'd start the truck, and it wouldn't shut off for over 30 hours. I also used it as a daily driver for 4 years. Now it's retired, waiting to be restored.

Here's an old pic of it when it was on 35s. Now it's on 37s and has a light bar on it.
