I have always been more of a GEN 6 kinda guy so I have 0 time with the TTB, but the other day I ran across an ’88 F-250 4X4 with the mechanical 7.3. I took it for a spin and the ride in that truck was great. Still not so much digging the body but I can always swap one of mine on later. My question is this, how tough is the TTB in these trucks? If I get it, it will be used often as a go anywhere camper truck sort of thing. I want to run 285/75-16 on 8-in rims which are about 33in tall, will have a camper slightly taller than the cab (6 to 8 in) winch bumper up front. May do some towing the heaviest would be a car trailer with another truck on it but only on rare occasions, I have a 73 F-350 SCS for that. The only other thing that would add weight would be whatever gear I need to carry for hunting or just a weekend in the woods. Some of the places I want to go with it will be a little rough but no rock crawling or anything major, more like rutted muddy trails or abandoned roads. Do you guys think the front end will hold up? If not I will pass on the truck, if I have to swap fronts I will just start with an older truck and drop a diesel in it. Thanks for your time and thank in advance for any input.
