I have the pictures when we drug it out of the barn. Not much else. It's pretty whole, been in the barn since 1965, so it was only 9 years old when he blew the rod through the side of the block.

I could get a y block, and probably get it running stock, but I'm going to rod it

Matt, so far I noticed a little bit better handle but I didn't go very far on the test drive. I'll have more to report after I run it to work & back tonight.

Nice clean job Charlie, looks good.

Lifted my truck

I recently purchased a 2000 f350 v10 6.8 and also got a 8 inch BDS lift with dual steering stabilizer kit, rear anti sway bar links, and carrier bearing drop. Also put 16x12 MT classic II 's on it wrapped in 38.5x16.5r16s MT baja claws.

Next on the list I have black go rhino 6 step step sides I need to install along with my the pocket style fender flares I have.

Getting a true dual exhast which im going to attempt to put headers on not looking forward to that lol

Also blacking out all the Crome and white shocks. I plan on taking the bed off and the front end apart and restoring the frame, axles and what ever eles I can get too.

What do you all think?

Armygrunt,

How do you like those baja claws? Do they handle on the road decently? I'm looking for another set of tires, I'm absolutely 100% done with Toyo. This last set has lasted me about 15k miles. They're clearly being manufactured elsewhere with different materials as my set on my 2000 (37"s) had about 40k on them before I sold the truck.

Anyways, just looking at options for meaty/mud terrain type tires.
