The Mule build, "when is it going to get painted" eddition.

Havent been here in a while so i dicided to show yall with what im working

1995 f350 cclb 2wd 7.3
Mods:
Stage 1 rosewoods
T500 from joey
6.0 intercooler e99 spyder andic pipes
















6.0 fan love it
Interior is being done at juarez mexico. I know but for $350 for my whole interior, only a mad man would refuse, and his work is better than some that ive seen on tv.
Pictures will be posted soon on the completed interior, for the mean time heres some of the things ive done










Stay tune for updates on the "MULE" forgot to add that the truck has egt gauge and boost gauge.
No tranny temp gauge yet, but soon. im running a 6.0 and an early sd 7.3 transcooler hooked together with a fan. truck has 800k documented miles on original engine and tranny who said that the e4od was no durable.
Turbo was also rebuild by me, cool thing about it is that i used the center cartridge of an e99 turbo and pedestal for easy removal for when it's needed 100 times easier than the oem obs one, i recomend it to anyone that plan on keeping their stock turbo.

Thanks man, yeah labor of love. when i got the truck the interior was shot no carpet, seats were nasty worn out and torn. I replaced the fronts with 40 20 40 seats from an extended cab, so i had to drill and modify to fit. I have the hopes of getting my seats tomorrow and ill update with more pics. The exterior belive it or not is not that bad of shape, a dent here and there, but zero rust, even no surface rust on the frame love the southwest.

Did you put carpet padding in between the seat foam and the wire mesh support?
Those seats do look awesome.

The carpet padding keeps the wires from cutting into the foam over time.

I asked yesterday he said he put some kind of rubberized padding on the back rest and where you sit, i forgot take a picture of it, it's got some inner tire tube kind of rubber and has some 1" padding of sponge
And on the actual skin of the seats he threw in some memory foam of matress he had there.

Is that actual King Ranch leather or just look alike? I noticed the leather around the King Ranch emblem doesn't match the rest.


Looks GREAT regardless!

Nah, i wish it was real king ranch leather, its vinyl. The darker color in the KR stitching is to offset the logo so it pops out more. The darker part has the same design but darker in color, in person looks alot better
