I have been working on this truck for a while now. Worked on the frame last fall. Been working on the motor for a year now. It would have been done along time ago but I ran out of money. Yesterday I pulled it out of my other shop and decided to start on it again.
The build was going to be a 4WD 3.0 Open Driveline puller. I bought a set of f-106 front and rear axles to put in the truck. The truck started as a 2004 F-250 regular cab 2 wheel drive. I added 21" to the frame to get it to 158". One of our fellow pullers with our club who pulls 2wd gas has convinced me to built it as a 2wd. So I have decided to change directions.
So here is what i am going to try to get done for this season. Our first pull up here doesn't start until the second half of June. I hope I can get it done.
The truck will be a 6.0 P-pumped Powerstroke 3.0 turbo with a ZF-6 manual transmission, f-106 rear end. I have the motor running with the pump. Not really sure if it will make much power or if it will exploded. Since money has been short I am not going anything fancy. It will be a function before beauty. I just hope to get it down the track a couple times this year and that will be a win for me.
Hopefully the clutch and tranny will be here next week so I can put it on the engine and get it all in the truck.
