Well, you wanted updates, so here we go. First one is the before pic.
The next one is the after pic. Then there's one of the ol' 7.3 IDI with tranny and transfercase and everything else still on it.
I've got the axle completely detached, but I think I'll have to replace a bearing on the pass. side before I install it. That's about all though.
There's parts for sale too. PM me. Some are already in the for sale thread.

Progress is good. Found a set of 3.55 reverse cut gears on fleabay, but I may have overdone my truck budget for just now. Gotta get rid of some stuff first. That part sucks...... Still, it's progress.

Good stuff Dave, forward progress is always good.
I`d love that visor for my 92 F250. I`m getting a new one tomorrow before the truck gets painted.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the visor. I've got to paint it up and put it on mine. Yup, that'll be nice. By the way, I got my intercooler in the mail today. Need to fab up the pipes, but at least I've got the cooler.

A friend is painting my truck as he does amazing and smokin` good work.
He doesn`t charge ( I wish he would cause he`s so good at it when he can make the time to do it) but we usually swap work or parts and a little cash along the way..
