Well bin a while since i was on here. Thing have changed alot in my build. After long consideration i decided that a regular cab just wouldent be enough space for 2 ppl and our dog. So i reluctantly sold the diesel. Good news is i picked up something newer that in the long run will be much nicer...

well got my camper shell on. was originally looking for one that was level with the top of the cab, but ended up going with this slightly older 4" rise one. its in great shape and the extra 4" makes a big difference in the head room, more than i thought it would. its got side sliding window with...

Well picked up a wabasto coolant heater this weekend. Going to put in line with the heater core return and run 2 lines to the box with a small heatercore/ fan unit. Should keep the box toasty in the cooler months and no worrys either on having to plug in the old diesel to a generator

well bin a while since i posted, lots gone on since then. new cabs all buttoned up. swapped in a set of 2001 ford f-350 superduty axles with 3.73.s. also dropped the 86 front clip and updated it to a 96 ford front end, much cleaner looking. my delema now is to keep the box i put on it or put the...

any links to the full build? wouldent mind reading up on it!

rides great! a lot nicer around town than the leaf spring version

heres a few pics of my buddys truck he just built this summer. started off as a 2wd 7.3 truck.

well ive bin slacking on the old 86! bin busy working on my other toy

any sleeping set up in the back yet? or still in the works

ive had 3 trucks that ive put a 1" block in the front have a friend with the same and never has an issue. its no different than the "mini" spring pack you get to level out leaf spring trucks. i work at an international truck dealership, most dump trucks run a 3"-4" block in the front. on...

yep u guessed it, the new cabs off a 95 f-150 but im still keeping the 86 front clip. i like the look of the 80-86 f-series. in the pics its got 35's on it, just running the factory 4" block and stock springs out back, and the front pack is a heavy duty one that levels out the truck. i would...

yea in the future maybe, the truck will still be my dd for this summer anyway so wont be doing to maybe long haul trips, maybe a few hours or so.

well got some work done this weekend. dident take many pics. but got the old cab off the truck and the new on on. also got the flat deck off it and just waiting to get a new rear cross member then the box can go on. its funny because the new cab is the same 2 tone as the old one, just reversed...

tool box guy on here has a great build with a utility bed and pop up camper

axles have 4:88 gears so it dosent have any problems getting down the road. my friends idi 7.3 with 38's and 355 gearing with a zf5 pulls great, and also gets way better fuel millage since its not screaming down the hiway. if push comes to shove one day it will just get a 12v cummins and that...
