Finished the headers. And exhaust.


3” stainless. Should sound very good with a 7.3 liters bellowing through those pipes.

Made a new battery box to get the weight down low and closer to the rear of the truck.
Used 3/16th steel for the back and bottom. 16g for the sides and 22g for the cover.



and finally the last of the frame welding. Added some tie down holes. Grabbed the oval plates from some modern donor sheet metal. This will make strapping it down on a trailer much easier.


media blasted the whole thing. Painted with kbc chassis black.
