Lots of little details to button up - but it moves under its own power.

I've got a couple of leaking injector o-rings... install the stack, finish some wiring, build the actual fuel pump mounting plate and align the front end - and its road trip time.

That truck is fine.

Is there a chance Jason you will be entering in the DPC someday with this pickup? If you do you will have my vote.

Very cool what you are doing to it.

That truck came out awesome!

Hotrodtractor · May 11, 2013

After I get it on the road and enjoy it a bit there is still plenty of "clean up work" to do and it needs some paint and body work - but all that will come later with some time (except for the front bumper probably.... it needs paint... lol) - I have a 7.3 that I need to concentrate on for the next several weeks once this thing is running and driving.

DPC isn't totally out of the question once I get some stuff lined out on it.... but its going to need some hard parts in the motor and trans to even seriously consider it.

If your road trips bring you through Dallas make sure you hit me up. Would like to look at that truck up close. Looks good.

I intend on heading to the Finals in Ennis again this year. A lot of things to do between now and then.... but that is my intentions.

I intend to try to make it to Ennis, but who knows with my schedule right now.

Does this mean it is making TS?

Also, great work!

On fb I didn't notice the front end wasn't all together. Looks good! Those trucks look soo much better with a straight axle under them.

I just set a 5 gallon fuel can in the bed - I had some tank plumbing issues that I had to resolve. All done now - I just need to bolt the fuel filter pump setup back in and hook the lines up.

That is still the plan...... but damn there is a lot of stuff to do yet....

Thanks - it really just missing the bumper and grill in the pic - I haven't had a chance to cut the bumper (which it needs BADLY) - so it was quicker to pull it for now. Its back bolted on and marked for cutting - but I haven't gotten back to slicing it up yet. LOL

Its a Fuelab pump. Its a nice little setup for what I am doing with it - but there are a few things I would change for the next go around. I really need to make a couple of custom filter bases to set it up the way I want it. I have a great source for Baldwin filters but for some reason the water separator didn't like the base.... it should be a direct cross.... good thing I had a few Fleetguards on the shelf too. LOL
