If you asked any of us a year ago if we would ever be into pulling we would have prob said no. It all started with some ****ty local stone boat pull and snow balled quickly. I just like the fact that it's a 6.0 and so many people hate them.

Yeah I hear you on that. Pulling is dumb in my eyes, but I still think it would be neat to build a dedicated 6.0 puller just because they are cool.

Made some progress tonight. Started getting the lower truss/suspension stops in. There will be another tube going backwards to the rear of the frame. The axle will be bolted solid to this.

This is the finished hitch adjuster. It still needs finish welding and grinding but you get the idea. It is 1 1/8 inch acme thread.

That is just the end of the 4x4 tube that is the main cross member for the draw bar. we cut the frame and slid it threw. It may get trimmed or left like that haven't decided yet.

Anybody have any opinion if the front sway bar is worth keeping on a 2.6 truck? I can't see it doing a whole lot other than wasted weight.
