This truck is a thing of beauty. If I ever saw it driving on the road, I would not be able to pick my jaw back up. You have put a lot of time into it and it has paid off. Your wife took some amazing pictures and it seriously is a great truck. Keep it up!

Real pleased with how everything turned out on Dads truck we got the first round of mods buttoned up today. The battery is relocated along with the power steering and overflow tank. Modified the top radiator hose and radiator for a cleaner look. Made a cold air kit for the truck and last but not least installed an electric fan. Oh and a few polished goodies. Now its time to start putting up stuff for the next rounds of mods...lol

Wiring was not difficult at all. We were able to source an aluminum ds the length we needed out of the junkyard. And we are running a stalled Aod with a shift kit but are currently getting parts together for a 5spd swap

That's pretty interesting you don't need a subscription or have to pay a service to have this speedometer work on the GPS? I'm asking because I have this Nearly New transfer case that came with a Nearly New 98 4.0 and m5od. transmission

Yes I think 98 was when they stopped using speedometer cables?
