Hey guys , just wondering with the price of diesel are you guys still building trucks these days .
One of my best friends has a lot of fleet trucks ...he just gave me this one ... I drove this truck off the lot back in 1997 ...it's a 1997 f350 single rear wheel truck , dana 60 up front , manual select transfer ...it's still in ok shape , but the Powerstroke must have spun a rod bearing ...it has a death rattle at 230k .
I was thinking of a 3rd generation cummins conversion for this truck .
I might just pack the truck away for the summer , I have way to many projects around the house and a new to me mercedes diesel 300cdt .
You guys still beating away at your projects with high prices of everything these days .

I'm trying to decide if I want to do a 12 valve in this truck or spend the dough for a 3rd generation diesel . I'm in no hurry to start this project , I'm also considering switching the truck to a stick , everything is in the planing stage .
