Well in about an hour I'm going to pull the frame out and guesses on if there are holes?

 

Well I pulled the frame out of the tank and this is the result. I even added an additive that is suppose to "swap into the metal and stop flash rust for up to 2 months." You can clearly see that didn't work lol. I did find some minor holes that aren't through and one bad one. I started to coat the frame and I got to some runs because I'm used to spraying not painting with a brush. You can tell I got better as I moved up the frame.

 

Maybe shoulda left it in for another day. Still and all, looks better than it did.

 

It was clean when it came out, just flash rusted. I agree I couldn't get the front as I was lazy and didn't pull the motor lol

 

You stripped it down that far, and didn't pull the motor???? C'mon man.

 

I get into the habit of rushing things and get excited lol. When I pull this motor to put the one I'm building in, I'll dunk the front

 

Got the V8 swapped and took the valve covers and intake off the motor I'm building to put on this one. I like the look (other than everything else being rusty)! Have to install a clutch yet. Having the cab off makes some work easy! You good should try it Also on the hunt for NV4500 and a NP241 HD

 

Notice anything strange that I did?

 

I did the same thing I did to my other truck, I permanently locked the cad into 4wd. Since I didn't need the vacuum lines I took the vacuum switch out in the transfer case. I wanted the light to work like factory, so I took the "4WD Indicator" switch out of the CAD (my way copies posi lok an uses a bolt so couldn't put it in anyhow) and moved it to where the vacuum switch was. It works now when I engage 4wd. So I have a working light Incase someone drives my truck and don't realize it's in 4wd. Maybe this will help someone out. I did have to make an adapter because the vacuum switch is a bigger hole than on the CAD.

 

I was skeptical on the color but I love it!
