Damn that is one groovy bed and bumper!! Keep it up

 

2 or 3 electric fans in front of the intercooler.

Had to finish up the driver side boost tube so I could start the engine today

Shortened it down



The original down tube for the radiator support had to be moved back to clear the boost tube



Done

congrats bud!!! i bet you were excited about hearing it run.

 

After wasting 2 hours trying to get it started and rewiring crap I didn't need (got the fordcummins stuff mixed up with the Dodge harness) I figured out it was just a fueling issue and had to crack the lines at the injectors. But man it was a great feeling.

 

when do we get to see a vid of her moving?

 

Whenever I get paid and get my bills paid first

Need some parts and metal:

Install Dodge Ram fuel tank
Metal for the front crossmember
Reverse shackle
(2) 16'' cooling fans
New carrier bearing
New u-joints and yoke on rear driveshaft (swapping to fixed yoke from orig. slip yoke)
Get rear driveshaft shortened
Re-gear and weld tubes on 10.25''
Install traction bar on rear end
New steering box
South Bend hydraulics
Get lines made to go from Dodge power steering pump to Ford steering box
Adapt Ford brake lines to Dodge hydroboost
Wire up the brake, reverse, and turn lights
Install 4'' exhaust
Build a front track bar
Get it aligned
Rig up a transfer case shifter
Brace the front ''fascia'' to the radiator support

That's what it needs to ''move''.

Then I still need to finish the interior:
New carpet
New door seals
New rear passenger door
Touch up the big dents and repaint doors and roof I missed
New windows and window seals
Tint the windows
Seat covers
Steering wheel
New plastic "pillar" trim
Windshield wipers and arms and get that wired up to work
Get a new passenger 92-97 mirror
Make a new gooseneck plate

Then eventually get a real paint job if I feel like it, but it is just a tow rig/part-time DD, so that might never happen and I'll just touch up the 70 dollar Rustoleum paint job I did last summer to it.


Then if I score a set of Switzer twins my might get for me, I'll be doing an o-ring, head studs, and an Adrenaline w/pulse, and injectors if I need them


Here's the video on youtube now

 

That is some damn good work. How long have you been workin on this and how much more time do you think you got left? She looks clean. sounds good. hope you have fun with it

 

Read the post above.

Got the Dodge Ram fuel tank



Pulled all this crap out of the pump



And we get this



Drilled the 1 1/8'' hole in the tank and pushed in the grommet for the draw straw







Surprisingly fits in the Ford skid plate!







Fits! holy ****

 

Return from engine, return from Airdog, and fuel in from tank





Extended mounts for the skid plate









Sway bar is gona have to go (contacts the tank)



Fits, a lot taller than the Ford tank but it fits, I'll have to mount the driveshaft off center to clear the tank or get a skinnier long shaft made.

 

wow that must of been a great feeling when that truck first fired up. Probably the most enjoyment you had with your clothes on huh?
