Nah I wouldn't have done that!

You think she'll be done in time for TS at the end of May? Wasn't sure if you guys were even planning on going or not.

While we are busy getting ready for Rudys next weekend we will be sending the turbo kit piping from H&S out to be powdercoated. In the mean time, going to install this simple upgrade Fuel Filter a Conversion Kit.

Any more progress on this guy?

josh@thedieselcartel · Apr 22, 2015

Have some suspension stuff on order, waiting on the fuel cell. Should be doing the frame and suspension work within the next two weeks.

josh@thedieselcartel · Apr 28, 2015

No new progress on this to see but we got some parts ordered

1. Custom Parallel 4 Link for the Rear.
2. Custom Weld on Panhard Bar for the rear
3. 4400# Front Springs thanks to jordan@autotruckservice
4. PMF Fuel Cell
5. PMF 3 Link

Once all the parts are in route we will pull the truck apart and start cutting.

Should start making progress this week.

1. 4400 Pound Coil Springs came in.
2. Removed front and rear bumpers, grille and fender vents to send to paint.
3. Took the cast portions of the H&S turbo kit to get ceramic coated.
4. Downpipe is getting coated as well.
5. Tommorow going to install the springs to see how much if any they lower the truck.
6. This week should pull off the bed and start cleaning the frame up and removing the leaf springs and mounts.
7. Should have the 4 link, fuel cell, and front 3 link here next week.

Something in the bed area doesn't look right. I do, however, see that you have your priorities straight and neatly placed your bottled horsepower next to the truck.

Power>Cosmetics

Looking good man. I can't wait to take it for a spin!

You got this backwards....but this truck will have plenty of power thanks to H&S Motorsports.

I want that 4500....

Cool project! I don't know how I missed this thread
Looking forward to the progress

josh@thedieselcartel · May 4, 2015

Today I installed the 4400 Pound springs and it only lowered the truck 1". Going to look into a custom Coilover option for the front since I'll be doing custom coilovers in the rear to go with the 4 link.

Also today I pulled the mirrors, fender vents, grille, and both bumpers and dropped them off to be painted. Waiting on smooth handles too.

Good stack of parts coming this week. Should be back to work on this thing and really get the bulk of the work done in the next week or so.

This week we should be seeing the custom 4 link for the rear and the PMF Fuel Cell and 3 Link Arms.
