Tractor supply has theirs for sale right now. I got a brand new 215k torpedo heater for $315.
Parts are hard to find. ESP for master heaters. I just use my old one for parts LOL

I feel the love. LOL
Mocked up the bumper, grill and headlights for the first time at the end of the day - pretty sure I'm going to be real happy with this with just a few more tweaks
Assembled rear rolling stock:

I bought a 215K heater today from TSC. Very nice unit. I need to confirm the parts, but I think I found what I need for about $40 to refresh everything.

You did some engine work too didn't you Jason? All that's done I reckon, if you got the cab on.
Can't wait to see it run.

Everything under your truck bed looks better than under the hood of a lot of trucks!

I really like mine so far. If your source for parts ends up working out for you, maybe you could pm me the info?
Truck is looking sweet!!!!

I did minor engine work - I decided to stud it - so I pulled the heads and found worn valve guides - I got all that fixed. Painted everything up nice, added 60 over sticks, changed to an S483 feeding a Danville 72mm VGT, installed an Exergy stroker CP3. I just need to make the new charger feed and drain lines, install the electrical harness that I went through and cleaned up, and then install my new fuel system to feed feed everything on the motor - more details on that later. Oh and I need to finish the downpipe - I couldn't do that with the cab off, but Bryan and I have it mocked up and looking pretty good. There is still a fair amount of clean up work to do in the engine bay with mounting the air pump, the vaccuum pump (so I can use the auto front hubs
), relocating the ABS module up there, mounting the power steering reservoir, etc...I was able to find the part numbers on the manufacturer's website and found several places online that sells them. I'm going to go ahead and get the new vane parts, new nozzle, etc and it will be like new again.

Its a stock bottom end that came in the truck when I bought it new and has been rocking compound chargers for 80K miles. Its quite the trooper. It is also my limitation on making power.

LBZ bottom ends are supposed to be "good to 600" though, right?

Wooowww. 60% nozzles and a 72 over 83 compound setup. I give it less than 10 full throttle runs.
