It will all be covered up . This isn't going to any shows, it will a good looking daily driver. A 20 footer. For the price though I won't complain. When the 5.4 gives out or gas gets to high it will be getting and IDI 6.9 turbo.

 

The good ol 6.9idi. My father-in-law has an old 84 6.9 and Im pretty sure he has tried to kill that thing multiple times. His wife has ran it clean out of coolant and ran it til the oil was boiling a few years ago and it's still going.

 

That's what I'm hoping for. I plan to do the build over the next year or so. I want the manual trans and to keep it as simple as possible while still making decent power and economy. I will also do a second fuel system for veggie oil. My last F250 that I had with the cummins ve pump swap had my own veggie oil seperate fuel system and I used it to pull a 5th wheel with my entire house in it which was about 16k pounds from Oregon to Indiana in one of the hottest summers to date back in 2012. I went all 2200 miles on used veggie oil and it ran flawless. It actually like the veggie oil more than regular diesel. I even had a pump and filter system on the back where I could stop at a restaurant and throw the hose in the oil dumpster and siphon and filter the oil as well as water seperator and pump it into my two 13.5 gallon poly tanks. The looks we got were priceless.

 

A little before vid taking the bed off today.

 

I would say that it was time for a new bed

 

Bed is off. Kinda sucked but it's off. Since I have it off I can throw some undercoating on the frame.

 

 

Video was awesome (We have the crazy wind here in VA right now too) and it was nice to see the more than just the pics. If you get a chance can you do a quick video of the fitment of all the front end parts and what differences there were between them?

 

This winter weather just won't leave. I didn't realize I had my camera set on low resolution. The next will be better. Yeah I planned on doing a vid on the rundown of parts fitment. I still have a little tweaking left to do but if the weather gets better soon I can get it up.

 

Wow, absolutely fantastic. I am subscribing here and will be following this thread in the future. I want to do this! Great job, man.

 

Thanks I appreciate that. This thread is going to end up being quite a few possible threads in one. The conversion, a 2" front coil spacer lift and 1" rear block lift, fender flares, rust repair body work and paint. Also painting the the wheels, clock spring and front seat. It will be a busy next couple weeks. I appreciate the views and comments.

 

Those are all good things because I will probably end up doing the same.

 

Where did you find the lift for $75? Im really interested in that too!

 

actually cheaper $67.49
