Idea for Dash

 

Cab will be going on a 01 f350 dually frame

 

picking up my new dash and steering column tomorrow the entire thing is coming from a 04 f150

 

I can't wait to see more of your progress...



What is that white stuff on the ground? It's so hot here in TN I can't remember that snow is cold..

 

This build has a lot of potential!

 

Rebuilding steering Gear Box here is a start

 

Wow! This will be interesting. I don't think I've seen a swap like that before.

 

It will be unique

 

Original Brake lines with original proportion valve all cleaned up




Another view of Brake lines




Steering cooler lines all cleaned up and pretty




Steering gear box all done




Another view of the gear box




attention to detail all what this build is about




brake line brackets all done up

 

Started cutting the welds on the front center section of my old frame will post pics when done. f350 2wd frame will be here in a couple of weeks hopefully will have everything welded in and have a dana 60 sitting under it

 

Excited to see how the modernized build comes along, looks great so far!

 

What is the plan to lift the cab? At least use REAL ratchet straps....

 

Cancer







Look what got done today. Thanks 77&79F250 for the advice on lifting the cab

 

Just copy and pasting some ideas from other FTE folks, that's all. Personally I would NOT trust that seat belt piece to handle the SC cab weight.

And if you are going to have the cab on them jack stands for a while, like doing the rust repair, I would swap over to a 2x4 or 4x4 square box support set up.

Just be safe.

 

i set it on the jack stands temporarly to use my hoist on the old frame
