This is a customer's of mine's truck. It used to be a City of LA Power and Water truck and is rust free. It has a 6" lift on 35's with custom diamond plate here and there. The NP205 in it let go and he had been wanting to upgrade this thing for a while. He mows lawns and is a full time fire fighter. He had a 02 F-350 7.3 DRW super duty, but sold it to get away from the Ia DOT regulations for commercial use. He sold the 350 and TH400 from this burb, and purchased a 92 Dodge for a donor. we're using the engine, transfer case, and axles from the dodge for this. We're using a 47RH and we're rebuilding it as well. Here's some pics.

Engine before pressure washing

Engine in burb for mock up

Right now I'm building the engine cross member and engine mounts. I will be using 1st gen dodge style, and using 2 per side. Let the fun begin!
