Welcome! Always LOVED the slantnose crew cab. A strange part of me wanted a bricknose truck with a slantnose conversion. Weird EH?

Yes, welcome. Only been here like a week myself.

Yep, classic nose and crewcab __ great combo. Can't remember the last time I've seen one, even here in almost-rust-free Cali.

Hey Kaleb,

Welcome to OB....as I told ya the best place to come for info on these trucks.

Man yer truck sounds sooo good, that engine is sweet, starts nice runs great, lets get that overflow/washer bottle in and when it stops raining and we have a bit of time, we'll check yer timing too for chits n giggles.

Welcome to OB Kaleb! Glad to have you here. I too love the slant nose crew cabs and I've got one myself. She's a bit of a mess right now and I'm in the middle of rebuild and adding an intercooler.

Thank You for all the welcomes and compliments on my truck Happy to be on here! I'm sure I will be able to find lots of usefull info while slowly building my truck to where I want it on here and with the help from riotwarrior. I really like the slantnose crew combo as well. I haevlots of plans to slowly build it up, just working on minor details at the moment like getting all the guages working and cleaning up the interior. But first on the list is put the proper battery tray/washertank/overflow bottle that Al gave me and then the wheel u joints. But got to get back to work, so post more later as things come together.

Welcome to Oilburners.net! The BEST group of guys you want to be asking advice from on ANY forum.

Always great to see another Canuck on here!! I don't know if you have Facebook or not, but check us out on there too.

That truck looks to be pretty darn solid and in great shape,,,how about some walk around pics of the old girl!

If you ever get in a pinch, or anything like that....don't be scared to ask for help. The only dumb question is the question not asked!

Wouldn't it be easier to put a ZF5 in a slantnose?
