Couple of questions: Did you make your step bars? Are the blue seats coming out and the gray ones going in? The blue front seats do they mount as a bench or captain chairs?

Took just over a ton of steel into the yard today. If I couldn't see it I wouldn't even know it was there...although the ride is much easier on the kidneys with a load.

Didn't do nothin to mine but drove my buddy's 94 turbo 4x4 dually flatbed an was impressed with it.she got an moved better the thought she would.it was weird it sounds so much diffrent the mine I don't remmber if my n/a 7.3 sounds like it or not other then some whistle but still It kinda sounds like a powerstroke at idle.but anyway I turned his pump up about 1/4 turn it wasn't much but he had like no smoke when he gave gas now he has alittle. Do the turbo motors not have torque screws or was I just not seein it I was gonna mess with that but I didn't see it

Pulled home a Case 430 tractor and attachments today. About 250miles. Steep hills, down to 2nd a few times. Overall she did really well, as usual. Temp never surpassed 210,. Thank the heavens for the trailer brakes however

Got the transmission out to change the DMF to SMF

Working in normal speed and working on a clutch/transmission for the first time took me 3h to get this far.
I hope tomorrow is the new SMF in and the truck drivable again :)

Put more ATF in tranny today. Guess I have to drop the transfer case and seal up the adapter to the tranny again.

dually fuel system convert.

Putting in a bronco tank, diesel switch valve. Cab mounts,shocks, maybe some frame paint. Three bed bolt we had to break off, never had any rusted like this.pics to follow. So, nice and easy way to remove box, got bronco tank in, sending unit pumps removed, modded to suck tanks dry, took out stupid diaphragm switch pot, installed and wired tank valve, need to mod dash wiring to work the switch valve, easy peasy. Woke up pretty crappy feeling but this afternoon built some turbos, took pics of done ones, banks mitsu with a billet wheel that I had made, since no one makes a replacement, its 2.5 mm bigger on inducer, IDI10T's wicked wheel II install, housing requires clearancing , all the comp housings I have, 8, are exactly the same. Got one shipped and now am gathering stuff to take to SJ this weekend.

Looks pretty good to me. I had to tweak my lines along the way to make them fit nice. I haven't done the ones on the axle yet.

I bought new DIESEL senders for both tanks... yes I said that... check IDIoit's post in the market place if you don't believe me... I didn't believe it either and an R134A conversion kit from U-Haul that has a new drier and some hoses with it. Trying to get back on track and get this thing done.
