I know a problem I have with this is when you're working, its hard to dirty up your camera to get some pics. I haven't trained the dog to do that yet...

I will get to them but I prefer to motor swap than to photoshop... I will download them and take them with me on a trip and figure out how to post them but I'm going to focus on swapping while I'm at home!

Default body lift...

Might not be necessary, but it's going to make it easier to install my motor if I add a 2-inch body lift while I'm at it - ordered it today. Had the bed off a couple weeks ago so those bolts will be easy to get off - don't know much about the front ones yet. Anyone done this? Wondering about a steering extension - hearing I don't need one if I only put 2 inches under it. Also got the new bearing for the NP231 transfer case to allow me to run the NP241 29-spline input shaft so I'll be installing that this week. Guys at ManTrans in FL helped me out after several parts places had told me it couldn't be done! More to come as I have a couple days this week to work on it.

Two inch body lift complete - on the cab anyway. Done so I can have more room for the 4bt - and for looks too I guess. Bed will be done when she's running... I've got to take it off again anyway to remove the sock off the bottom of the fuel pump and to clean out the remaining gas before filling with diesel. I know, I know - pics will eventually show up!

Photo rookie - direct or HTML link? Here's a direct one so we'll see if it works.
