We did! Barely! Pulled into SEMA 10 mins before the deadline. I was exhausted.

Never did a specific thread but I'm sure its in this one somewhere. I did a YouTube video on it years ago when it was still on the flatbed.

Love all these RV’s! What year/engine is in “The Whale”? Did you regear it? Would leaf sprung axles from an F450/550 work with the 6” kit?
Thanks

Thanks! Me too, getting one for myself today! Its an 02 V10. We didn't re gear, it came with 4.56s. The 450/550 axles have a few minor differences that make the conversion a bit more difficult, mainly in the steering dept. Our RSC equipped axles have the same size brakes and serviceable wheel bearings as the 450/550.

Our last DeQuig (from NY) just got wrapped and is looking FINE! Nice to see it all together and finished.

Cali SMB 6.0 almost ready to drop!
