got it rolling on it's own weight but it's not exactly level, i can lower it another inch at maximum before i run into clearance issues with that monster of an axle.

Looks like a shackle flip for the rear is in the plans now.

Had this tubing bent and picked up some angle for the trans crossmember, ill get more pictures when its finished up hopefully this week.

 

Shifter hole lined up so perfect it's like it was made to be in this truck, just will take a little bending on the shifter to make it perfect

 

It's coming along nicely

 

very nice so far! so did you decide if you are going to intercool it or leave it non intercooled

 

Oh definitely intercooled, i have some performance mods i want to add to this Cummins when this project is through.

 

And no i don't use that blue POS in the background.

 

Cool build, I can't stand diesels but I love the progress you are making.... on a side note please don't use cinder blocks to support vehicles.....

 

I trust them more then jackstands and they are cheaper, it takes a whole hell load of weight to crush a brand new block.

 

Just read what you posted above, then your signature.

I know they are strong but they have a great ability to break with little warning....

 

I picked this thing up this week because the one i have is ready to fail anytime, has had a rebuild within the last few years. I will rebuild the other eventually and keep it as a spare.
