Hey guys, I'm back!
I know it seems forums are kind of a thing of the past, but I still enjoy sharing ideas with people who aren't as retarded as all the kids on Instagram these days.


I had a pretty good build thread for my last truck
22338941_10212611570496911_3881735815616638541_o.jpg

And I sold it back in November....

And would've done one for the 6.7 but it was chronicled on Facebook

Yesterday I brought home my 3rd powerstroke build, and I'm pretty excited about it. It's a 97 CCSB 7.3 Powerstroke. It's completely unmolested, no TS Chip no straight pipe, no nothing just maintained and driven. She rolled over 300k on the way home, and the truck doesn't miss a beat. It does have a few body issues, and a couple things, but nothing crazy just regular wear and tear as to be expected on a 20 year old truck.

Can't wait to see this one come together. But with those aftermarket headlights/tail lights and a 6.4 bumper is it truly unmolested under the hood? Or did they return it back to stock to sell it? It's kind of weird that those things would've been changed on it and nothing under the hood.

Not at all, most truck owners even modern will have no problem or hesitation doing cosmetic upgrades vs under the hood.

But yeah it’s bone stock and old man owned. He cracked a tail light and bought this headlight/tail light eBay combo vs putting replacement OEM ones on and to upgrade the front end look he put new grille, lights and bumper. His son was going to get the truck but he got an accord instead going off to college.

I guess it was more of the headlight style that had me questioning it as most older people would go back with stock. Looks like a really good find though.

Well I didn't really want to, but picked up a used set of 22x14 American Force Shields wrapped in Nitto 355s because it was too good to pass on.

Still not 100% sure on if they'll go on the truck or not though.



The front parts will be replaced with upper and lower billet grilles, and all clear lights with LEDs. The rear euros will be replaced with all clear tails with LEDs as well.

I also ordered a rollpan for the rear but it hasn't showed up yet.

The girl got her first bath since I've had her today and I cleaned up the interior, here's a few pics, enjoy

I was hoping you went with those tail lights. I've always loved the look of them with that greenish blue paint. Did you get the matching frosted headlights or the clear chrome ones?

I could've swore it had these tail lights as well but I knew for sure it had the headlights and cab lights.

What axle set up are you going with? What’d you pay for the forces? Just curious because I’m almost doing the same thing. I’ve got an 06 rolling chassis, new clear lights for the front, picked up a 6” RCD lift kit for $200, and a set of 22x12 AF blades ss8’s for $1100 going with 37x13.50R22. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I’m hoping to start sometime in Feb. just saving up money for the front 2.5 pintop Kings.

Sorry to derail.....
