We pressure washed the carpet that's the first time we pressure washed it twice it smelt like straight bar and chain oil the po cut wood for a living but it's getting closer

 

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 I know it's been a long time guys I just realized how long it had been myself but anyway truck was put on back burner due to my brother happened into a e99 crew cab 7.3 with new tranny but needed some work for 4000 dollars so this truck got put outside and tarped and If u saw my other turbo thread slash engine replacement thread you guys probably realize the engine is now in my truck but I've got another engine I half to put together for this truck but me and my brother are considering building a two door short bed 4x4 with 05 up axles I have a set that I might have sold so I can do some more work to my truck but I'm considering keeping and well building this truck let me know what u guys think

 

Should have some pictures later today of the other motor going together see what u guys think here's the axles I've got if the guy falls threw and doesn't buy them all I'll need is wheels

 

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 looks like this build will slowly happen probably be process of couple years though but picked up som wheels on Craigslist cheap today for it not nessesarly my style but they where cheap so I bought them

 

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

 

Hopefully I’ll get coil buckets mounted up today and then on to setting up the rearend how where gonna run it for now coming along slowly but now that my other build is done gone and sold and bills paid and my dad is fixed and seems to be doing decent where gonna mess with this one for a bit as money allows

 

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

 

Glad you got to spend time on this project. I we we all what it feels like to have one sitting ready to soak up some $$$$

 

Yeah it felt nice to get in some time in working on it it will be a very slow project for sure we are just putting together what we have so far then we will hold off till money allows

 

Well me and my brother got to work on it some tonight this is what we got done
