Ya don't wanna go to crazy, don't know what the trans and radiator can hold...

Just about done with this, gotta wire a 7 pin connector and plug it in the plug up by the cab

Truck already has an electric brake controller so i'm good to go for little trailers

Did you have that plate made or was it already on there? That would come in handy for just about anything.

Find someone who can weld and use torches and you can.

I can do that just need to find time to make one. Is that 1/4" or 1/2" plate ?

1/2" all around

One step closer to be being done.

Gotta tighten up all the bolts after i connect the two sides. Which i'm gonna do now, and i had the visor the drop brackets and the hardware all powdercoated gloss black so it matches everything else but the sun is messing with it.

Deck plate done, tints were done yesterday, the deck plate needs a little more work but it's pretty close to where it needs to be, the frame on the truck isn't cut straight so it needs some more grinding then painting but that's for another day.

Went light on the windows and only did 35% on sides and one layer of 5% on the back and its a big improvement

New 8" stack full straight piped, sounds amazing! Easily as good as a single turbo 6.4 less rap, more deep bark.

You forgot to run one to the left side, truck is looking good though. Probably over all cheaper than a pickup and hauls way more much better and safer.

Ya much cheaper... Less issues, safer, same fuel economy as my tuned 7.3 and my tuned 6.4 towing, tires last forever, everything is cheaper really. Example. I did the clutch in it just because the trans was out for the rear main seal, and it was only 500 for a new dual disc clutch. And it has twin 100 gallon tanks so i don't have to fill it up every week or even twice a week like my 6.4, wipers for it from the dealer 10 dollars for both! Trust me i want dual stacks but a dual stack kit is 2-3000 truck came with a single 5" stack and 52" muffler. After upgrading to a new exhaust elbow and 8" x 60" stack i was under 650, one stack is fine for this truck.

Don't know how I missed this thread. Can't wait to see what else to do to it.

probably gonna do the grille next, all gloss black with gloss red mesh behind it, then put the freightliner emblem back on painted gloss black with the letters done in gloss red. but that will have to be done by hand with a brush.
