Ive seen alot of stickys out there and was wanting some input on what should be done to prolong my truck since im restoring it from ground up. Its a mix of about 3 different years 90-92 reg cab long box w250 5spd.
Ive already put arp head studs in, KDP delete, new gaskets throughout the whole motor and seals, new lift pump 2nd gen style not sure if it low pressure or not but pretty sure it is, south bend clutch pressure plate and flywheel kit (425 hp set) and changed every bushing in the chassis, cab and both motor and tranny mounts as well.
The motor and tranny are not in the chassis at this time as of right now its a bare cab and box on my restored frame and when i say bare cab i mean nothing inside of it only doors and glass.
So im open for suggestions as to what to do to help it last long and also gain some extra ponies.

Nobody has any helpful tips or info like maybe changing out fusible links to a fuse box setup nothing really???

If you plan on large tires I would add a steering gear bracket.

I haven't had electrical problems yet so ditching the fusible links and adding some relays to the headlights and heater fan are high on my list.

While it is apart is a good time to run any wiring you plan to add or change and now is a good time to do the RWAL delete if you are going that route.

There was a factory bracket that goes from the back of the frame behind the steering box that helps strengthen the frame. I believe most Ramchargers had them. The 4WD frames like to crack where the steering box mounts.
