Here's a new post George. We're lifting jeff's truck with a 3" body lift on Sunday for anyone that has tools or knowledge or just wants to help. I live at 4629a maine dr. dover. We will start about nine am and try to finish but I'm a virgin on body lifts so we're gonna try. Gotta get ready for the 16th. Thanks guys.

Kenny what kind of tools are you going to need?

Did you get Jeff to signup for the 16Th?

Not sure, we have a craftsman set, and I told him to buy a starhead socket set for the bed, but maybe a few jacks.

I will get him to sign up.

Speaking of Mods, George, what is the lastest word on "The Hood"?

glruff · #12 (**permalink**) 09-10-2007, 07:45 PM

As of last Thursday, still waiting on the new molds to be completed. They will call when it is ready.

Maybe I can get you all to send an email and see if the have hoods to fit a 2005 SuperDuty. LOL

LOL, glad you aren't driving around waiting on that hood George! That would kind of ruin the "lines" of your truck! But, it would keep the engine clean, unless you had a Modular motor, then it wouldn't run at all. I have had three of them that detest water anywhere near the intake manifold ( Hee Hee)

Sunday... + mon+tues= truck still not complete. Well i feel dumb. almost got the truck finished, well at least the cab, when i noticed I forgot to move the fan shroud and raidiator, so now my fan is jacked hopin its ok but I gotta work today so i am gonna be doing that tonite. Also the bumers aren't done either. I was wondering how easy are the bumpers? I can get the shroud down off the fan thats no prob, but i have never lifted bumpers like this? but then after all that i just have to reconnect the wiring harness reconnect the steerinf with the extension and should be good.

Jeff don't worry if you don't get it complete for the 16th.

Just enter the "UNDERCONSTRUCTION CLASS".
