PROGRESS ON MY CREW CAB BUILD
Got the axle in adn tires mounted. Worked all teh drivability bugs out. its just a wanna be 4x4 right now. I have an E4OD for a 4x4, but i am still waiting on a ZF5. Right now i dont have a transfer case or front driveline, but its getting closer. Will be a rust free crew cab 4x4 diesel when its done.
Start
Now with a Dana 60 king pin front axle.

Not easier, but it is an option I am looking into.
I have a 2wd E4OD in the truck and a 4x4 E4OD in my shop. The issue Is that i dont want an E4OD
I took a better pic today
I have a set of good doors going on it soon, but they are on the back burner right now.

the only thing I can see is the lower bolt holes for the larger trailer mirrors
looks real nice man. I'm a huge fan of the brick nose!

Holes and dents. besides i have the doors from the victim truck. Bought the whole truck for $800. Kept the kingpin dana 60 adn matching 4:10 rear axle. parted otu teh rest fo the truck adn made more then the $800 I paid for it. Was a centurion custom so it has alot of nice features. Rust got teh best of it tho.

I really wanted a crewcab but the closest one in my price range was a 6 hour drive and going really cheap. sounded almost too good to be true and I didn't want to drive 6 hours to find out that it was. I ended up settling for a '90 supercab F250. I live in an apartment so I can't take on any serious projects like that or the property manager would crap a brick. maybe in a few years I can trade up to a '95-97 crewcab powerstroke 4x4.

Anytime. I took good progress pics. Plan ahead and remove the rivets adn replace them with 7/16 bolts so when your ready to start the old parts just unbolt. Drilling and grinding the rivets was the worst part of the entire process.

you said-
''Sitting on her own weight, bleeding the brakes and hooking up the front sway bar are the only things left.''
Looks like it took you 3 days to get almost done with the axle swap.
By the way, Nice shop you work in there.
