No such tire size, Nick. They have one that's 34.4" tall, but it's 12.7" wide (meant for wheels that are 8-11" wide). Link HERE.

Hi all, I'm looking for narrow(ish) 33-34"ish tire recommendations for my Patina Rod build (HERE), which is based on a 2008 F350 Super Duty dually chassis cab frame/chassis with OEM 17" x 6.5" steel DRW wheels. The truck will eventually be used for longer-distance travel, which will include...

Now that is funny! :)

If you're hanging on the edge of your seat for Earth-shaking progress, you'll have to keep waiting patiently. I'll again disclaim that I'm more "crock pot cooking" than "microwave fast" when it comes to my builds. Part of this is by choice, and because I'm detailed, and the other part is due...

This week, I sold the first Cummins 12v I bought to an acquaintance who happens to be a diesel mechanic. He took a look at my new engine while he was here, and said everything looks good at a glance. He said the turbo felt great, and had no unexpected play. I have a fair share of degreasing...

I have a set of good FC upper cab corners (same profile as the lowers) that I plan to use.

I finished up the Dana 80 speed sensor delete. It's now primed, and ready to install once I clean up and prime/paint the area on the axle under the plate location. We'll also be hauling this one-owner 1994 Dodge Cummins 2500 home tomorrow. It runs great, but the (2WD) transmission has...

LOL. I'm trying! It certainly is a great-looking truck. Thanks again. Just a small update... The NP 241 DHD is now completed. Pretty little bugger. On to the 47RH prepping & painting next. I also started making a speed sensor plug for the Dana 80 DRW rear axle. I cut down a BIG...

Thanks for the information, Charles. It looks like a longer cable will certainly help, and I'd LOVE to mount it on the dash. If you have any suggestions for suppliers of these Morse cables, I'd certainly love to hear who you'd recommend. I didn't even realize what the cables were called, so...

Thanks, Java. I appreciate it. I'm a little biased, but think it'll look GREAT when it's done. :)

Thanks! :) My 47RH transmission (rebuilt) is ~2/3 prepped for paint. I'm breaking out the Dremel with micro brushes, which I already used on the t-case, next. I got half of the NP241DHD transfer case painted, and will paint the other half this coming week. The Aluma Blast paint looks...

The sun visors are done. I painted the brackets with charcoal gray "hammered finish" paint, and reassembled them. This rebuilt '94-95 Dodge 47RH transmission ("mild performance build", including a Recon billet torque converter) should give my old truck plenty of life! It was rebuilt by Kaz...

I snuck in some prepping/priming between taking care of my post-wrist-surgery (Friday) wife, Amy, doing some maintenance work on Amy's Jeep, and keeping my obnoxious girls in-check. :) The rear portion of the frame is now completely primed, with the top coat hopefully coming next weekend...

I dropped two (2) '94-95 Dodge 47RH transmissions off at KAZ Transmissions in GR to have them inspected. The 2WD one only has 114K miles, and is believed to be in good condition. The 4WD one has 140K, and the owner thought it was in need of a rebuild. My goal is to end up with one good 4WD...

The color is certainly right for the green hiding underneath the white on mine. Thanks! It's very slow-going, but IS coming along a little at a time.

No idea, actually. I know it has a California plate still on it, but I'm not sure as to the original source or builder. I picked it up in northwest Michigan.

Thanks, Kingsize24. Cool! I will definitely be building filler panels of some sort between the cab & service body (similar to the pic below). In my mind, I see these as shallow, hinged cabinets that would swing away to access the engine when necessary. They may just be "shells" to conceal a...

That's the plan. :sombrero: There was no work on the FC last weekend, but I picked up some items that belonged to my late Grandpa Charlie that I'd like to somehow work into my build. These old Craftsman tool boxes (which were full of little trinkets) were from his early before-I-was-born...

Thanks, guys. Yes, the work box will offer a lot better function, and I'm liking the overall look. For now, I'm just waiting patiently to start working on this again...my schedule was crazy last week, and will be this coming week, as well. For anyone who's curious, the cab will come down...

LOL. No. Yes, Michigan is a beautiful state, and the U.P. scenery is quite amazing. Three (3) new FC windshields arrived from Pilkington on Friday...one for my Patina Rod, one to keep on the shelf as a spare (only one company in the U.S. produces these), and one for my friend Darrin's FC150...
