Clean truck. Let us know if when/if we can help you out with a nice fitting bolt-in intercooler kit.

Very clean looking truck. Not over done but just right. Can't wait to see what comes of this truck in the future! Any more plans for it?

I appreciate the offer, but I have gathered all the parts to install a Super Duty 7.3 intercooler.

Thanks.

I have gotten everything together to get the 7.3 intercooler installed. Hopefully it will be worth the effort.

I have been thinking about getting a 3 gauge pod and a boost gauge as well.

That's a very clean truck, nice work.

Tom is going to have a run for his money at the rate you are going.

Thanks Austin.

I got another part for my intercooler install.

Now I am waiting on my intercooler pipes to get here. I am having a custom set made specifically for the OBS with a Super Duty 7.3 intercooler for $200 shipped. They are one piece units. The only connections is at the intercooler and the spyder.

The only thing I have planned for the future is an upgraded HPOP (when needed), Stage 1 injectors (when my go bad), install the intercooler I have currently ready to go in, and a Dana 60 front axle swap.

I just want to keep it simple and practical to drive daily, but yet have good power to pull anything I want it too.

Very cool buddy

Very good lookin OBS. Great work man.

got to love a well maintained obs. any all aluminum ic's that i have ever seen have come off of the earlier model sd's though, plastic tanks went on late 02/03 i believe.

A nice clean OBS is still the best looking trucks on the road IMO.

i go to lincoln tech in indy. sorry it takes so long to reply school is the only place i have the net. you get your chip nob installed yet

mjonesjr · Aug 2, 2011

Sweet.

I got it installed yesterday. I put it under the steering column on the left side. It is kinda out of the way and not very noticeable.

I have been looking for the silver XLT dash and door trim for a while. I happened on a set of the dash trim on eBay. The parts happen to be in Evansville, IN so shipping was exactly 1 day.

I also got my TS Chip switch mounted. It is out of the way and not very noticeable.

I didn't like the way the mirrors were looking and didn't want to buy a new set. I decided to try some Mothers Back to Black polish. It is supposed to bring the black back to vehicle trim. Needless to say, it worked.

jwlandry · Aug 4, 2011

96stacked&smoken · Aug 8, 2011

lookin better every day man. yea thats another good place for the chip knob. i just used some interior paint and some body colored touch up paint on the interior trim to give it a custom look. the xlt part is now body colored.
