Thank ya. Just got my new helmet today. Waiting for the new lincoln welder to show up any day now. As soon as it does ill get it updated a little bit.

 

Subscribed. A Yota rollin coal is a beautiful thing.

 

Subscribed, an eventual 4BT swap is in my future, gotta love Cummins

 

HECK YA. do the swap. I'll post up a pic of my ram charger I built when I was 15 and 16... Loved that rig. I cried the day I sold it. But it helped fund the yota....

 

Wow great truck man, not sure why I haven't found this yet lol. Reading this thread was like an inspiration builder! You are full of positivity and encouragement?

 

Na. I just love seein neat stuff everyone builds. Theres a lot of good info on here ... And theres always time to be negitive lol.

 

Haha very true, I just like how rather than focusing on what was hard you're telling people to go for it, keep it up!

 

Thank ya..... It's true though. I will sit and procrastinate about something and think about different way to do something and it still never gets done till you do it. Even with the yoda build just took it one thing at a time and before you know it its done.

 

Yep, the planning stages are the hardest for me, once it's under way the pressure is on to get it done.

 

man lookin atpics of this truck makes me sad.

 

got the motor put back together finally. got a few pics



did a stainless bolt kit as well.

















tops of pistons have been ceramic coated and the skirts have been teflon coated





stock crank with a fresh polish job



heres a steed speed manifold my buddy just ordered for his 4bt. so freakin tuff. but 600 bucks.



upgraded valve springs





quick shot of my buddys 4bt





did the big 913 pump flowed and tested at 650 cc a min.







large injectors



found some india rockers that im pretty excited about.

 

should be around 600 when all said and done.
got a few more things done around the place and got a new toy im pretty excited about.





my welder showed up







got the dana 80 out of the shop and out of the way threw some paint on it so the blast job doesent go to waste





t case is ready.



trans is ready.

 

pulled a tree this weekend used the yota for some clean up.
thats my pappy.

 

also bought another truck today. mostly for the cummins. but im gonna sit on it untill the ford is done.

 

another 4bt build. turned out great.

 

i am jealous that i dont have the resources or skills you have to do this stuff. awesome work man.

 

thank you..... but its really not hard. do one thing at a time or its easy to get overwhelmed.

 

ya i know. i play mechanic all the time, never been much of a welder though. i have an 87 w-150 dodge truck i'm building up. but like others have said, time and money. hard being a single dad and come up with both these days.

 

10-4 its not easy doing it being not married and no kids. its amazing how some people can do with a wife and children, i know i couldnt. i look at people with with 4 or 5 kids and the spouce doesnt work and wonder how they keep up.

 

ha ha by the way i sold that truck after two days of owning it. had a good offer.
