Must be getting positive feedback on the parts. And some must be getting done!


Will enjoy watching it. This is a route that could be fun to go someday. I just like the 7.3 to much! Might have to try it in a High Boy.. ;)

Final assembly begins tomorrow night. This weekend, axles, cab, front clip, motor, trans, radiator, intercooler, and trans cooler will be mounted. I'm holding off on 1st start up because I'm going to want to drive it as soon as I hear it. It's gettin there!

Painting motor mounts right now then bolting it in! Don't mind the steering wheel! It's got duct tape around it. It's actually very nice. But I switched over from the manual column to an auto column an brake pedal, have the cable throttle pedal installed and hooked up. It's on the upward slope now!

I haven't got a new axle yet. The blocks will be put in when I do the new axles, ubolts and centering pins. All that is pretty low on my to do list at this time
