So this is my 3rd diesel and 2nd Fummins. This I'll be sticking with because
a.) I have no choice.
b.) I need to stick with one truck and quit jumping around.

So, on to the truck at hand. This is a 2006 CCLB XLT F250, least that's what it started life as. It had a VERY poorly done front end swap on it, which will be reverted back to a 6.0 front end, practically every single body panel will end up being new on this truck. The interior isn't in bad shape per say, it's just done in bad taste in my opinion. I would like to put ta King Ranch interior into but who knows what I'll find.

Anyways, the truck has a 6.7 Cummins in it that was completely stripped down and has been blueprinted, decked, head surface, ARP 625's, cryo-treated rods and pistons (Lord only knows what those will hold up to....), Diesel Pro stage 2 cam, industrial injection 100 horse injectors and valve springs, trend pushrods, head has been ported, 66mm Silver Bullet, FASS 150..... I'm sure theres some other crap that I'm forgetting but whatever...

Behind that 6.7 Cummins is a 48RE that was supposed to have a few more things in it than it actually did but I'm not going to ***** because it's built now and not going to fudge up... The trans has an ATS 5-star converter, Suncoast full manual v/b, billet input, billet drums, ALTO power pack (clutches and steels), billet servos, yadda yadda yadda... will hold more than what I plan on putting down for now.

On to the pictures....

Within 24 hours of ownership I had the trans out and ready for some goodies, you can see the billet flexplate there.

A little smashed up in this corner which I'm sure is why the 08 clip was "welded" on

Some of the interior (Note the sweet ass R/T seats... Leave it to Chrylser to be responsible for the only squeaky thing on the truck...)

And last but not least the front bench bolted in the back.... Along with the new 6.0 Harley headlights.

The body shop should be done with all my 6.0 front end parts tomorrow, hopefully they'll be installed by this weekend!!!!

Gonna be a project. Would it not be cheaper to find a truck with a blown up 6.0 and swap all the good stuff over to?
 
If I didnt owe so much on this one it would be... I definitely paid a little too much....
 
Only two teasers I have of the body work... Should be ready to pick up this evening though...

Ok, just wondering. I seen it at a dyno event. Previous owner made it sound like it had 1k hp but didn't dyno it. Are you in Mi also?
 
No sir I live in Lousyana, bout to be moving to NE though so you might see it up there at some events before too long.

I'm not gonna bad mouth the PO, buuuutt just take a look at the craftsman ship.. That'll give you an idea lol
