So I have been working on some stuff. I did a bullet proof job on an 04 6.0 for a friend. Got it all done and he didn't put 500 miles on the truck and he wrecked it. I talked another friend of mine into buying the truck to swap the engine into his 06 king ranch then I was going to get the motor from his king ranch. Well he ended up wrecking that so it looks like I will be buying the parts off of him and putting them in my new project.
I have an 86 F250 that I was going to restore so I have slowly been buying parts to do so. I have picked up pretty much a whole new body for it, so all those parts are laying at my house. In the mean time I found a 1990 F350 CCLB 2wd. I picked it up for cheep and it is for all intensive purposes rust free, which is hard to come by in my area.
My plan for the truck is to swap in the 6.0 driveline. I also have a D60 and 10.25 SRW to swap into the truck. Then the dually box will be pulled and the front clip will be pulled and my 80-86 stuff will be installed on the truck. I already found an 86 dash with factor air conditioning to put in. I plan on using the SD hydro boost setup as I kept everything from the donor truck when we tore it down.
I am still trying to figure out how I want to do my front suspension. I might do leaf springs, I might use the coils and build my own 4 link or I might get an 05+ setup and swap that in.
The dash at this point I am planning on morphing the SD gauge cluster into the 86 dash. So here is a picture of the new truck.
