Is that the sun reflection off the f350 symbol or did you light it up? Either way it looks good.

With what you have done i imagine you'll have no problem welding up the pieces for shoulder belts

those are LED lights.
i didnt make em, i bought em
one of my favorite mods on the truck!
i cant wait to see it lit up with the top cab lights..

i really thought about hooking them up to illuminate brighter when i reach full boost,
but thats a waste of time lol

Super sweet build! Love the badges too, and making them glow brighter with more boost would be SICK but yeah, a bit too much work most likely.

How far back does the frame extend from the rear of the cab? Seems quite, quite short. But maybe it's just the angle on the last few weeks of pictures... Anyway nice work!

I see you have the crew cab window switch. Are you using additional switches for the rear most ones or leaving them manual

Is the wiring harness from Painless? Would you by chance have a part number for it?

this is a EZwiring harness.
super sinple to install.
the hardest part was getting the fuse block in the stock location
i had to gut some of the dash plastic to do it, but i wanted it in the stock location
here is a link to the harness.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had my dash apart but does all that wiring connect to the big plug in on the drivers side? If so, how did did you get the fresh wires connected to the big plug? Did you spice them to the old wires on the plug? Also what are you doing for the harness on the engine side?

Ah ok. Did you update the connectors on the engine sensors and lights? If so, where did you get those? Ford? Sorry about all the questions. I just have to do something similar to this.

the stock connectors and sockets will be used. i have a few harnesses from previous trucks.
ill be using most of the stock connectors, soldered and shrink wrapped.
tach sensor has the stock harness also.
i ordered a new glow plug harness so the
GP's & IP all have new clips and plugs.
the wiring from the fuse block only goes to the starter, glow plug relay, temp switch, FSS,
i also have updated gauges, so the oil and engine temp are ran independently.
i know im missing something, but im not at that stage yet.

getting ready for this weekends festivities so work on the truck is on hold till monday
