K.... I got the rear all back together accept the brake calibers. Just holding off till I'm ready for them. I'll get the front together this week and I decided to put the motor in stock for now. I will build another motor as time (and funds) permit, then swap at a later date.

We have also been thinking about selling (need some investment funds), but I will continue getting her together for now.

Some pics....

Whithout a doubt! We are looking at getting out of California.... just don't know when that might happen. So in the mean time, I'll keep working on it, but as they say.... everything is for sale.

Before I get too carried away....

I need to do the KDP fix on this motor.... Do ya guys think I should drop the pan to take a look inside? Maybe pop a couple bearing caps to have a look? What about changing out the main seal? Motor only had 114K on it.

Ok so apparently some small minded people dont understand that the truck in this signature is a combination of many sarcasims. Please quit being stupid and study up before you run your mouth about it.

Easy! Ordered up the u-bolts and plates from WFO. Ground a notch in the diff webbing for the large u-bolt and that was it. I will go back and weld in some more u-bolt support for the large u-bolt, otherwise I'd be a little conserned on how much torque can be applied.

Bump and subscribe. This is amazing! Really nice work, too, I'd pass it as OEM or better. Can't wait to see the finish, but for now, what's the status?

no fellas this is way nicer than OEM, the factory and there robots cant do this work. i deliver steel to fabricators everyday, and seeing your work, you could give 95% of them a run for the money. its kinda a relief seeing a guy that knows what he is doing when tackling a project of this nature. well played.
