Alright guys, Since everyone else is doing it, I guess I need to share.
So my dad, my brother and myself have talked about restoring a 4 door short bed OBS for years, We finally found a decent truck to start on. We paid 2500.00 for the truck. It was 2WD and the guy used it as a work truck. Long story short my dad and brother went and picked the truck up and drove it home. We have already came along way with it. We plan on just making a very nice and clean truck to drive on the weekends.
As far as the motor and trans goes we already have them motor tore down and it is at the machine shop. We still have a long list to go as well as the full T4 kit with a S366 and we are going to swap a 4R in as well.
So far we have:
Mahle Piston .20 OVER Coated
Smith Brothers Push Rods
Comp Cams 910 valve springs
Irate Diesel Complete OBS Fuel System
ARP Main & Head studs
Colt Stage 2 Cam
FLUIDAMPR PERFORMANCE DIESEL SERIES DAMPER
Adrenaline 7.3 Oil Pump
Swamps 7.3 175/80% Injectors
PHP Hydra Chip
We are painting the truck Blue and Grey like the 6.7 Superdutys. We found a 2006 6.0 that we can use everything to do a coil spring conversion, 4x4 conversion and it will have 8x170 bolt pattern,Also we are planning on having interior out of a KR 6.4 as long as we can find a decent set. I will have more pictures and updates as we go.
