If I remember correctly... Your wife played a major role
In the fact you didn't lose a wheel......

Or SMELLS different

Great looking 4x4! I like those large radius front fenders. Did you buy f350 fenders or trim the f100/250 fenders and roll the bottom edge under? Any special mods to that 300 inline six? I see the offy intake, is that a dual plane or the c model?

man I need to get on here more often.. 9Fingers, they are off a big truck.. I have since went back to small openings and a smaller tire.. :) Rust was a big factor in my decision

so happy with the way this has turned out.. backyard hillbillies at their finest right here.. :thumright: now to get the bodywork done to the bed, 2 doors sandblasted, worked, guts changed out, (I have them ready) the fenders worked again, and all the little dents out of the hood... Piece of cake, I have till August of 2020, right? hope to have it in paint by spring.. I got this...

You mentioned a dump bed in the future, and I bet it isn't to haul leaves out of the yard with, so will the Dana 60 be replaced by a newer stronger 70?

Still striving towards that dump bed but in the meantime my buddy Jay and myself spent 11 Saturdays with a couple evenings thrown in rebuilding the dana 44 HD up front and relaxing rebuilding everything but the bed. Only had one bolt holding the whole front end on. 😬 radiator support got a lower 6" from a dentside support and both inner fenders got new tops on them so the bolts actual have something to bolt to 😮 new cab, new doors, new fenders and a new hood the lower section of the dash was rotted at both corners so we cut my nice dash out and made it to bolt in. Had to replace rotors as one was cracked so I replaced both might as well put new brakes on too. Had some brake issues to figure out it was collapsing brake hoses. I now have brakes and that's a good thing. I'll add pics as soon as I figure it out again or the album is on my FB Anthony Enix we are in Kingsort TN through tomorrow enjoying the rebuild. if you read it all, your a true slickster!
