Sweet project! Im doin pretty much the same thing, tho my frame is not as rusty. Goin out to do the rear shackles and hangers now

 

Nice build thread, Kid.
Especially thanks for all the pictures. Where did you get your new rear spring packs? How much $$$? You say the truck will sit an inch higher. Is there an extra leaf, or stouter springs?
I am looking to beef up my F-250 rear suspension which has no overloads, so I either need to get a whole new spring pack, or add the overload spring with the spacer. I would also need to either fab or find the overload frame mounted spring stops.
I'm not too keen on that driveshaft, either. Too each his own.

 

Congrats on the Birthday & you DL, good for you Kid....

 

So it's been a while since I posted on here I've been so busy it's not funny but since the 3 years alots changed , trucks been better than a kid could have asked for! However then rebuilt 351 has been removed and I dropped a Powerstroke out of a senior bus into my truck and did the whole conversion and let me just say if you go to the extent I did, you've got a lot of work ahead of you! Trucks also been lifted with a sky 5 rsk ,I had a trans shop rebuilt my trans and change the output shaft cause van was 2x4 lasted 4,000 miles no warrenty so I rebuilt it myself for 200$ while I waited for my bts to be built! I've busted my *** working to fund all this. It's still not done or perfect but I'd say for 19 it's not bad



Before powdercoating and wheels





Getting that smooth on








After instal of hot coated axle and sky's full crossover steering





I made the grille and diff covers





On the 37s before switching to 35s





I pulled my truck in the pull 154 ft before the driveshaft let go








Made my own stack!





Down At the farm





I wish I still had a picture of how I got the engine, but I can say it didn't look like that





Took it up mount Washington this summer





It's my daily driver

 

The truck looks good, but too many crooked angled pics.

 

I really like how your truck turned out. Their is only one thing I don't care for the dodge mirrors. Hey its your truck though. I am 18 so our age isn't to far different.

Great truck Nick, thx for sharing pics...... well done so far

Really Jake??? you got a bad neck????

Hey Tman, I agree

 

lol, Nah that's just something that has always bugged me. I don't know why anyone would intentionally take pics like that.

But like you guys said...aside from the Dodge mirrors the truck does look good. And I love that grille

 

Can you post up more pics of tve grill?! That's aweet!

 

I am very impressed with the amount of work you've put into this truck! I don't think I would do everything you've done, but everybody has to do things the way they like it. Overall though, I think it looks great! Again, very impressed with the work and effort that has been put into it! Thanks for all the pics!

 

Hey guys my front bumper was pretty much tin foil so I tried this out cause I got the bumper for 100$ what do you guys think?



09 450 bumper

 

That actually looks really good.

 

Great idea with that bumper. Way more room for fog lights and accessories, without taking up much more room. Did you fab your own brackets, or were the SD ones modifiable? If mine ever gets rusty the way the rest of my truck did, I'm going to try this out.

 

My first thought when I saw the new bumper was, "Nah, that doesn't work." Then I came back and looked at it again and it's actually kinda growing on me. You've got loads of room for any kind of lights or accessories you may want to add, and it certainly adds a lot of bling to the front! Was it hard to attach?

 

Very impressive. Great job. In a few of your pictures, it looks like that right front tire is getting near bald in the middle....
