Hard to find a good place to mount the pump and filters on a regular cab isn't it? I've looked at it several times and have a couple different ideas, but haven't had the chance to try them yet. My son's truck is a regular cab. I'm gonna experiment on his some day if I ever get time.

Degreaser and pressure washing will revive these carpets like you wouldn't believe.

Well got the timing cover on and hpop in and the pickup on tomorrow we should get the oil pan and water pump and oil pump on and maybe pickup some paint for it by chance and we are not sure if we are going to try a diy t4 setup or not yet but we may just go with a stocker as we are wanting to get it running soon just build some fun to run around in and soon as money allows we will go big with it

Well guys we’ve been working on this build when time allows and money I guess but we figured we’d put together what we’ve got so far I traded the aftermarket wheels for some stock 18s to throw on it and we got the front half of the 150 frame stripped of 5.0 components and are getting the frontend mounted up slowly

Well got coil buckets mounted today and some 2wd drive springs in there about a inch 1/2 between bump stops and axle but I’m hoping that when motor and cab is in they are setting on axle firmly then I’ll remove them and it’ll leave about 2in of clearance between axle and frame to give us the ride height we are wanting

Got the front half the frame sanded rust primered and painted. Probably not going to do rear half till we decide if it’s getting rear 4linked or not. Also got Dana 60 out and going to power wash and rust treat and paint ASAP.

I know guys this truck keeps getting tore down and put together. It’s just that is a kinda work on it when money and time is available. Which is why I’m working on it now I’ve got a bit of time so figured why not.
