Pulled the timing cover off to check the kdp, hadn't been done! Time well spent tabbing it

 

Borgeson shaft installed, carrier bearing support fabbed and installed
Hoping to work on the dual shock set up next now.

 

It's coming along nicely. Keep up the good work!

 

I need to move the block over on another truck how hard is it to move it

 

Thanks!

Guessing you mean electrical bulkhead?
Its fairly easy to do, you can see in the pictures what I did. Didn't take more than a hour to do

 

Had yesterday afternoon to work on this, here is what I came up with. Marked
out and ready to cut
both sides cut out

drivers side welded on

pass side

cut out a bit of the inner fender to clear the second shock mount off the donor truck

indexed the back to accept the frame ridge

extra mount bolted on

 

Had some serious time to finally dedicate towards this project, installed rad support, rad, intercooler, and ac condensor. Had to clock the HX-35 to take the intercooler tubes

Changed the fuel tank module to hopefully correct a defective fuel gauge from the donor




End of the day today I fired it up and drove it ahead and backed up a couple feet, what a great feeling!

 

With the box off now is a good time to install an axillary tank. The tank from a Ramcharger fits nicely behind the rear axle and is pretty easy to put in if you can get the cross members with it.

Oh, and the Ramcharger tank is actually bigger than your stock tank!

 

Good idea but i'm ok with the capacity of the stock tank. It will give me a around a 7hr empty drive time or 4hrs pulling. My bladder isn't that big!

Installed the clock spring and did some work on the valve cover vanity plate

 

Wow...What A project...Great work....What part of Sask are you from??

 

Thanks! I'm from the Viceroy area which is in between Weyburn and Assiniboia

 

Cool...I grow up in Pelly....60 miles north of Yorkton..

 

Right on, I know the area.
Removed the seats last night and test fit the exhaust, the 4" is going to be very tight

 

The floor had quite a few cracks in it, spent some time welding them all up and all the holes that the previous owners had drilled everywhere.
