Super cool build! :ford:
I have also had diesel projects that took way longer than originally intended... or that I never finished. What you've done so far looks great! Just keep pecking away at it, eventually you'll get there.
2008 Job 1 F-450 KR
Bought four months ago with 96K, now has 101K. All stock except for D P F del ete and K&N air filter. Runs great, no issues. Will probably make some more power in the future, but 350 hp is enough for the time being.
I'll be refinishing my frame sometime in the next year... maybe next summer. I plan on degreasing, powerwashing, wire wheeling where necessary, and then primer and finally paint. Not exactly sure what paint I'll end up using.
The amount of skill and forethought in this build are nothing short of amazing.
My sincere thanks for posting so many pictures on what most would consider proprietary information. :clapping:
Once it's on the track, I hope you kick some butt.
I got the DT360 and an Eaton 3053A tranny.
I'm looking for some more specific information. I sent swamp_ratt a PM about a month ago and haven't heard anything. Is he still active on any boards?
Within a week I'll have a DT360 to shoehorn in to a 1985 cclb 4X4 dually F350. I like your build. You have some great ideas I'm going to use. :toast:
Any progress lately?
