Nice build! What did you use for engine mount bushings? The rear look like they are metal to metal. Do you have a better shot of the front mounts?

The reason i'm asking is because I have a DT408 NGD and spicer 5 spd thats going into a Rockwell/tractor tired 95 F350 CC. Being its offroad only i will be re-using the full hydraulic steering I have on it now.

Oh yeah, this is also a bump and subscription so I dont miss the pics and videos to come.

Thanks,
Dave S.

The new cab. Doors suck, but cab is really nice. Will be using my old doors as they're really nice. Got a rust free front clip as well! Will get new carpet and headliner and eventually would like the bucket seats rather than the benches! The bottom Will be coated in por15 as well

Also I am wanting a stock front bumper if you or someone you know wants a ranch hand, let me know

Idk, I have been working the equivalent of 2 full time jobs the last 3-4 months. I haven't had time to do anything but work. Your truck is coming along nicely

Here's a comparison of the dodge aam 1150 and the gm 1150

Gm close

Dodge left, gm right

Now you can understand why I switched to the dodge version. Also the dodge version has a speed sensor whereas the gm doors not

Got the new rear axle in Saturday. Stock suspension with 35s. Top off the roof is at 7 feet so it stands pretty tall. Going to order some pmf 4" rear blocks to replace the factory blocks. Decided against lifting it due to its current height.

Yes that is a Rockwell 2.5 ton laying under it and that is the turbo I will be running. I still have to por15 the axles and leaf springs, but I needed to get it under to make sure it was right
