Getting the truck ready for TS, the clock is ticking!
Truck got new paint on the cab, box paint is fresh as of Spring 07, but the cab had original paint. We had some hitch & suspension tweaks to do so we had the body shop leave the box off for us for easy access.


Shop is a filthy mess right now!

Getting the motor in for air-water IC mock up etc. I didn't realize INTERNATIONAL blocks were made as far back as 96, I thought only a VERY few 98s were made, apparently they had at least 2 castings by International!

Dude that engine, pump, and turbo are worthless crap. I'll even pay the shipping to get them away from you:D I'm just that kind of guy.

Looking good bud. I'll be ordering those gauges pretty soon too.
