So picked up a 1975 Crew Cab F700 out of Washington a couple months back. Getting started on things while I'm getting the 1974 Crew Cab F450 to a rolling chassis to send up to my buddy's @ Jefferson State Diesel for a P-Pump. So the plans are:

1975 F700 Crew Cab
7.3 Powerstroke
ZF 6, Alison, or 5R110
Tcase depends on Trans will go a factory setup
2.5 Ton Rockwells F & R
335/80R20 MPT 81
MRAP Aluminum Wheels
Flatbed for hauling the crawlers






2 of the 3 little helpers throwing on some hardware. lol Couldn't have gotten them bolted up without em. These tires are a tight fit on the MRAP Wheels. Boggers and 46"+ Michelins fit much nicer.

 

Looks like a very cool build. Nice to see another diesel build.

 

This is gonna be an awesome project! Subscribed!

 

That's gonna be a tank. I'll definitely be following this one!

 

Thanks guys. I'm way excited as well. If it turns out to be a good year for business over the next 12 months it might get really crazy.

 

I follow your stuff on Pirate. What ever happened to the truck in the background of this pic? I'm anxious to see it up and going

 

Updated those threads yesterday too. Started boxing the front horns and got the 6.7/ZF6/Atlas bolted together. Just waiting for Pacific Fabrication to finish the Radius Arms, to put front springs in and have a roller. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll be able to get it up to Jefferson State to P-Pump the 6.7 and get it running.

Or did you mean the Miata?

 

No, I meant the crew. It's looking good

 

What's is your business? Just curious with a name like house of diesel.

 

This will be an awesome build. Cant wait till its done. One thing, good luck trying to get the 5R110 to work with the 7.3 if u go that route. Almost non compatible with the different PCM's. Your better off going with a 4R100 built from BTS (Brians truck shop) in Lead Hill Arkansas. Indestruckable and a life time warranty if it does break. Just some food for thought.

Have u thought about a cummins 8.3L or do u want to stick with Navstar?

 

Actually for now I'm just throwing a 12V that I had bought as a backup for another build in it with a ZF6, 6.0. I'm go into get hammered on taxes this year so I need to see save my money until after my accountants tells me what I owe. For now I'll just get the drive train in so it's mobile. Guy never got my deposit check for the Rockwells so I lost out on those too and am back at square one for axles. Set on using the Rocks though for sure now since I already have the tires and wheels. lol

 

LOL,The accountant conversation always sucks for me. We always argue about how much money we made....he always wins....

Looking forward to the build.
