That is one heck of a big undertaking Bart. How do you feel about doing it full time? You're going to have to find an 8th day in the week somewhere haha...
Get all put in for Elk & Antelope everybody? You have until Tuesday evening!

Nice truck Trav! I have liked the body style ever since they switched in the early 2000's (not sure when that happened) And the newer ones are even sharper with the grill setup. Very trouble free motors & drivetrain too. Nice work

I like the newer body styles enough that I put an 05 grill in my wife's excursion. it dressed it up nicely.

Bart, although I do like the newer style grills on the Superduty's, I was referring to the F150's like Trav bought. I don't think I could mention a 6.0 and the words "trouble free" motors in the same sentence without getting laughed out of the county

The 6.0Ls aren't that bad of an engine really if you do your research. I have come close multiple times to buying a 6.0L only reason I didn't was stupid things like red in color, lifted dangerously, and it wasn't a crew cab.
I still would love to get a nice 05-07 F350 4x4 crew cab long bed 6spd 6.0L white with charcoal or black interior.

Howdy az gang. Hope everybody has been having a great few days.
Almost finished putting the generator engine in. Just need to hook up the wires, get a couple belts, hook up the radiator, and fill up the fluids.
Took 3 days to build some motor mounts. Turns out stainless steel is extremely strong and tears cheap Chinese drill bits up like nothing. Was lucky the generous neighbor let us use his welder, drill press, and grinding tools.
