Got about 12k in it since August. Had the paint done about 4 years ago and it is getting a bit rough. Hoping to paint it all black next winter. Did a total suspension overhaul, new interior with cage, new trans and motor over the winter. Should make around 700 horse. it is basically the ford 513 crate motor with a lot bigger cam and kaase p51's.

perky, i really like what you have done. I have a soft spot for turbo diesels.

I've done it but have since sold the truck. I may have some pics left. You will have to make your own way to fasten the tilt to the truck: hood pins, latch assembly, etc. You may also have to fabricate your own hinge assemblies. These fiberglass tilts do not just bolt up. There is a good amount of fabricating that must be done and a lot of finish body work to make it look good. Be ready for a large project.

US Body makes alot of stuff for these trucks in standard weight, and in lighter weight for racing. I have their fron and rear fenders and doors on a 76. They also have pretty good tech support.
