And what about a rear drive shaft?

It's going to need a shorter one. I'm still trying to decide if I want to do a one piece or 2 piece. I'm going to have a new one ready to go before I bolt the GV in the truck.

Update:
Still no gear vendors. I need to get some parts to get it fixed. It has a couple broken parts inside. The deal I thought I got turned out not to really be a deal. But after I get it fixed I'll still end up saving money over buying a new GV unit.

I have also built traction bars, added a layer of deadener to the interior and firewall. Installed some 03 Powerstroke insulation. I put in a gooseneck hitch too. I swapped out turbos for a 38R and the new Wicked Wheel 2.

I also got the truck custom pinstriped this year at Carlisle. I'll post some pics later tonight.

My dad had a GV in his old 7.3. He had a foot control like the high beam switch on older trucks, where you step on it to engage it. It was a nice setup, and the GV's are great on 7.3's!

Nice job on it! I need to finish getting the bodywork squared away on my F-150 and get some paint on it, lol.

That's a fine looking tramp stamp. What happened to the front hub caps?

The tabs that hold them onto the lugnuts were all broken. I lost one and decided to pull the other off. They were a pain I couldn't get my hand in to lock the hubs because of how they were made. I'm going to do individual lugnut covers like a semi instead. Just waiting on santa to bring them. lol
