just wanted to show off some of the transformation of my new daily driver. I was NOT building a show truck or a weekend run around truck but a daily driver work truck. hope you like it. Thanks

the first pic was 6 weeks ago now. I have been driving it for almost 2 weeks. I have been gathering up parts for a while and when I was ready it went pretty smooth. I will post some progress pic. cross members dropped to fit the NV5600 in there.

Cut the 390 motor mounts up to make the Cummins mounts. really worked good.

The '78 F250 4x4 power steering box . Not too much to adapting it.
