Here is a truck that my dad finished most of the way this summer. These pictures are from June right after he got the exhaust done and had it running and driving. I think it is a cool diesel project to say the least. I helped the few times I was home while he was building it but he did almost all the work on this himself. He didn't have a whole lot of money to throw into it and built that truck on a very small budget and he did most of the work in the driveway. Thing fires right up and runs like a champ. It's awesome to watch it chug up a hill with smoke rolling out of the stacks. One of these days maybe Diesel Addiction will get our hands on it and drop a built up 7.3 Powerstroke in it for him.
