Bill I really did not back up far enough. I bought the truck In 1999 it was a IDI automatic turbo truck when I got it after three transmission I got the opportunity to get my hands on the PSD and ZF5 donor truck that my brother had. It also had wheel spacer for the dually conversion so I put a dually rear end in it and front hubs off a cab & chassis. This truck was my daily driver until 2008. I don't have any pics when we did the motor swap. We did the swap outside in Feb. of 2004 and 20 Deg weather.

Wow,kevin,it looks so nice in person but its a swap too. I have much respect for the paint but to have started with a swap truck and actually stick with it to the point you are now...wow,just wow really.

Kevin as I said earlier, WONDERFUL work, and now even more since I know now that it was an IDI, auto, etc., I still cant believe every thing I see in those pics.
Thanks it's taken a long time it's starting to come together for me now.I would not want to start on another one and have to do the same think it has been a lot of work.
