I hope to finish turning it into toy hauler/rv/art car with multi place car hauler with more mad max style cars on it kind of Fury Road style. Thinking about converting to 4wheel drive as well.

I hope to install a 4200 rpm gov spring a new turbo and heat wrap from the head to the muffler to improve efficiency for power and mileage, maybe even a custom alum rad to replace the cheap Chinese one from the Dodge. Also been thinking a Banks Twin Ram and bigger charge tubes.

my health is improving, though is taking longer to recover from my brain surgery than I thought. Haven't done much on the truck took off stack, rear fenders and grill guard. Hope to start working on it again soon as I start driving again.

Glad your doing better,Just don't over do it.
I haven't worked on my 550 project either.I tore 3 tendons and the upper bicep tendon came out uf the retention grove on June 21 didn't have surgery till July 20 Workman's Comp took their time. I'm still in therapy 3 days a week.
I got the airride all made on the rear and the fifth wheel adapted to the 550 frame . And got the double receiver made and put on.And got the 2016 dually bed bed mounts.
