Hey guys, new to the army here so I wanted to share my newest project with you all!
Picked up this 03 shorty from North Carolina a couple months ago now.
Here are a couple pics pics before I started teardown

Defintely a fun truck. I wish I would've bought it when it was forsale.

What're your plans for it?

You know the truck? Seems like alott of people were interested in it. Gonna run it on the street and track. Its tore apart in my garage right now, waiting on the UPS man for parts :redspotdance:

Pulled the bed this weekend to check out the frame and the welds where it was shortened. Going to clean it up some, por 15 the frame and then install fuel system. May look into replacing rear shocks and traction bars while the bed is off. Any recommendations for trac bars?

This should fix my oil leak. New oil drain for the S366 from Matt over at Cutting Edge Diesel. Great customer service and craftsmanship!

Got my fuel system in as well (about 2 weeks ago), went with Martys Diesel Regulated Return and A1000 fuel pump. I ordered my kit on a Thursday morning, that afternoon Ashley was calling to confirm my order, what filters I wanted and so forth. Spoke with them a couple more times to confirm information about my truck, size fuel tank etc, after hours mind you! I get my tracking number the next day and received my system that following Monday! I cant say enough about their customer service, quality of products used, and obvious passion for diesels that we ALL share! I haven't had time to install my system yet, but Martin assured me he would help anyway he could! If you undecided on where to get your fuel system, Martys Diesel has you covered!


Here are some pics

Been crazy busy with the family business and landscaping I haven't had time for the shorty :( Hoping to have it off to paint by end of the month, I originally wanted to paint it ruby red metallic but I saw a new 15 f350 at a local dealership this weekend and fell in love with the color. What are your guys' opinions on this color?

If you painted it pearl white you could probably get away with not painting the jams/engine bay...

I thought about that but a guy around here has one that he is painting that color. Plus the shop that's painting it is giving me a really good deal, even with the jams and everything painted
