Subscribed, very nice project you have going there, I'm watching this one.

I bet 6" Skyjacker and 35's or Super Duty springs and 35's....

HB frame maybe... I think I barely see the front cross member. But no way those are stock rear HB springs, way to much arch IMO.

Bryce, here is a great thread and some motivation to stick with it.

Subscribed can't wait to see the pay off. This thing is look pretty bad a** so far. If I may though, what made you choose the 6.0 for this project? Don't get me wrong I like the 6.0. It can be a great engine. Just not what most have chosen for an implant. What trans and drive train do you plan on using?

This truck will without a doubt be phenomenal but I recommend looking into the reliability of that motor.. not discrediting it because some of the fastest and strongest diesels I know are the 6.0.. but that's after bulletproofing.. the monster looks solid so far

Thanks guy's. It's a 76 highboy, 4" skyjacker lift, 33" tyres ( will be running 37's once on the road) and 2" body lift (to help engine clearance). It run's the 04 factory 5 speed auto and transfer case, 78/79 dana 60 hp kp front axle and a 96 stirling 10.25 rear axle.
I was looking for a 7.3 back in 2006 and was told the 6.0 was the way to go. We didn't get the 6.0's over here so I didn't know about the reliability issue's. once the body is finished i'm going to fix the reliability issue's with the engine then add some bigger injectors and turbo.
I've driven the truck with the 6.0 in it and was pretty happy with the power in stock form ( factory tune) so looking forward to turning it up!

Well a 4" lift and 33's, butter my biscuit and call me schooled, looks taller to me.

Bryce thanks for the info, and still a very sharp truck going together.
