In the interest of aerodynamics, the lines of the hood, front fenders, and grille were rounded off for 1992. For 1999, the heavier-duty model lines were replaced by Ford Super Duty trucks, a brand also adopted for Ford medium-duty trucks. The ninth-generation F-250 and F-350 remained in production through the 19 model years, respectively. In 1996, the tenth-generation F-Series was released (including the F-150) for the 1997 model year. The Flareside bed design made its return, following a substantial change in its design. To improve the aerodynamics of the exterior, the front fascia underwent a substantial revision to its design. The final generation of the F-Series to include a complete range of trucks from a half-ton F-150 pickup truck to a medium-duty F-800 commercial truck, this is the third generation of the F-Series body and chassis introduced for 1980. The ninth generation of the Ford F-Series is a lineup of trucks that were produced by Ford from the 1992 to 1998 model years.

The 7.3 has a ton of mods that can keep gearheads busy for years, it can become addictive. I think prices will stay high on them because the later years are know to be very expensive to repair, they will need it, and the recession meant not as many diesel trucks were made or sold so less used inventory. That means you can run tunes and other mods yet still be legal, just make sure to switch to stock tune.

required, just a visual smoke inspection. In California, and I suspect in other states, the smog test for pre 2003 diesels is much more relaxed, not cat.

The 7.3 is the last diesel truck that does not have all engine killing smog stuff.
