Thanks for the nice comments. This has been a long process, but will be worth it once it is back on the road. I'm looking forward to driving it if we can get past a few current challenges. The guy I bought the engine and trans from hasn't come through on the trans yet. Very irritating as he's had my money for quite some time. I've filed a dispute with Paypal, but will see where it goes...

That said, here's the heart of he beast waiting to go in



Here is the front D60



Just chatted with Jason for a while. Looks like he's got a plan to cut out the crossmember for the stock tank and move it up and to the rear so we can keep it smog legal and still get rid of the axle interference as well as increase the departure angle a little. Jason will also make a beefy gas tank skid plate to keep fuel capacity in the tank for that V8. I'll post pics of that progress as they become a available.

As far as the spline count on the axles go, I think they are 30 spline, from what I've read. I don't know for sure as they aren't here with me, but should be pretty stout. The front is an F350 D60 front and rear is out of an F250 (I'm trying to confirm whether it is a Sterling or D60).

More to come...
