Inspired by the project asmith build thread I thought I would share this project I am currently working on for @theSHERPA
This lucky man is the proud owner of a 1991 F350 ambulance with a dana 60 front and a srw converted dually 10.25 rear. I believe it sits on a 5 inch lift and 40s, the truck was stationed in Antarctica and custom ordered by the military just the way it sits now, and only has 20k miles. The end goal is to make this truck into a camper for his family that can tow his rockcrawler broncos on adventures.
Right now we are focused on making it more driveable, the brakes are weak and na is not cutting it for how heavy it is. It also has a cold start issues that I have already remedied. First stage of work is going to install @no mufflers old banks sidewinder kit and convert to hydroboost brakes as well as install a headlight relay kit.
here's some pictures:
Cold start issue was a combination of corroded connections, a melted glowplug relay/controller and air intrusion. All was remedied by a spare controller, a fuel bowl I had in the shop and some fresh fuel lines, truck starts on a dime now.
This next week I am going to diving into the charging issues (thinking the harness is to blame and not the alt) as well as knock out the hydroboost conversion.
This should work much better as far as updating progress instead of sending pictures through my craptastic phone, thanks for checking it out!
