Update on the fummins build. Exterior is done. Gary Bannister did an amazing job on the paint. Absolutely nailed the colors. Mechanical is about 98% complete. Cruise, A/C, and a little tuning left to sort out but that doesn't stop us from putting her to work. Really proud of my team on this one. Would have been impossible without their help.

Haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd share a fun project. Started out with a passing comment from Brandie about owning a truck with a manual transmission for our kids to learn on (our oldest is 7, mind you). What I heard was, "Build any truck you can dream up, as long as it's a stick." 😂 So here we are, 5 months and a ton of work later, we have a running and driving truck. A Frankenstein's monster of a truck built from the parts of at least 8 different trucks from 4 states. Still have a ton of work left, but this seems like a project that will never be done. Huge thanks to my crew for all their hard work and Diesel Conversion Specialists for the parts and knowledge. Here's a rundown on the major components:

Body: '91 F350 - SE Montana
Frame/suspension: '05 F350 - EC Wisconsin
Engine: '95 12v 5.9 Cummins
Transmission: ZF6 from an '04 F350 NC MN
Rear bumper is from a 2015 super duty. It was a new take-off from a truck in Wisconsin, that I bought from guy in Iowa. Next on the list is a set of Lariat seats from a 2011 super duty. Hope to get it painted someday.

How do you make a 6.4 powerstroke reliable? Mahle flycut, de-lipped, and ceramic coated pistons, stage 2 Callies cam with HD lifters, Kill Devil Diesel o-ringed heads w/120lb valve springs. Seems simple, right? Let the fun begin.

Another cracked 6.4 piston for the wall of shame. I'm always amazed that they don't come apart. 1/4" of aluminum on the bottom side of the wrist pin is the only thing keeping it together.
