things that got to get done:
1. Transfer cases need to be rebuilt and bolted together
2. Then lengthen the front d-shaft
3. Hydro assist needs to be mounted and steering box needs to be tapped
4. Look for some bigger tires
5. Built transmision
6. Paint Job (cant wait for this)
7. Cummins

that will finish the build for now but the list can be done later, i only need a few more things to make it driveable.

that was probably alot more than you really wanted to read haha

Sorry it took so long to respond, That's going to be an awesome ride!

Have you sourced the diesel yet? My buddy just wrecked his '06 F 250 with a 6.0. I'm going to see what he can buy it back for. I would love to put the whole drive train in my truck.

Hey, where did you get those lights on the top? And do they shine clear or amber? Those look pretty nice.

That will be a great motor for that set up, very reliable. I'm not sure, but are they the ones with the needed head gasket update?

Alright guys, here are a couple more of mine. I was wondering, and I guess this will all just depend on personal taste but do yall think I should work for a lift or a drop? I already think that the majority of yall will say lift but just wonderin if there are any people that think it would look better closer to the ground.

Thanks! They are Recon brand - you can buy them online from their website or look on e-bay. They are the older dodge style lights - clear with chrome bezels. The lights are amber although I suppose if you wanted clear you could. I wanted everything completely clear from the corners to the cab lights yet amber when lit for that custom yet oem look.

I'll agree with pretty much what everyone else said in the other post - lift it. 4x4 up, 2wd down. Although if you go down you could go for more of the lightening / flareside look.
