It would be like every other ''boydster'' out there, I want to be different, plus this works hands down, no running wires and figuring out new gauges.

Ok so I picked up the NV5600 last nite.

Here in all its dirty glory





Cleaned it up





The custom adapter the previous owner made to adapt the NV5600 to the GM BW4401


All cleaned up and painted



Will be installing it tomorrow


Also, This is the clutch that came with the tranny.

South Bend Con OFE

Good for 475hp 1000ft lbs torque

MU 2001 Con. OFE

 

sweet build!

 

Clutch and flywheel in





Even though I mounted the engine 5-6 inches farther forward than normal, I will have to patch and cut out a new shifter hole in the tranny cover.





Will be picking up some metal to make the tranny crossmember tomorrow morning, then painting the flatbed because I prepped it and finally welded it solid to the frame today, I also raised it to make clearance for the 37's.

Also working on mounting the Airdog tomorrow after the paint is put on.

 

Looks great!! look forward to seeing more pics

 

have you thought about what your gonna do to the exterior or are you gonna leave it stock lookin? good lookin project again I look forward to seein it progress

 

Will be building a tube bumper up front, I'm trying to get rid of the flatbed and put a normal bed on it. Will be getting painted white with some pearl in it, basically that's it. But I just want to be able to drive it for awhile so the 70 dollar spray can job will do for now.


Got the tranny crossmember knocked out today.











I want to add another to help stiffen the frame up and double as a rear mount for a skid plate for the t-case.

 

thats a kick *** tranny mount

 

Pulled the tanks out. I will be swapping a 96 Dodge Ram fuel tank in their place, that way I don't have to deal with the fuel tank selector, because it will make swapping to the 1/2'' fuel lines a waste if fuel has to pass thru a tiny 1/4'' selector valve.




Figured out why my front and rear fuel tanks couldn't take fuel at full flow at the gas station



Also pulled the rest of the Ford wiring off the truck, including the fuel lines.



If anyone needs anything you have till next Monday when the trash truck comes





Airdog ready to go in, I'll be mounting this in the tool box.

 

how bout them tires...I will take those off your hands.

 

lookin sweet
