" Now may also be a good time for some stainless Works headers,..."

if I could afford it...you have no idea what I am spending just to get this thing road worthy...

somewhere down the road...maybe
Yeah, I don't blame yeah. That's why I pointed out the used ones.

Did the air bags go off?
That truck looks like it was really hit hard in the front.

You're not wasting any time. I think livernois had a 6.2 ready to ship. They'd be a good contact for some of these other parts as well. Might have some spare items around. Are you putting glass on or trying to keep things stock?

The main question where did you buy this truck. Just so many unforeseen obstacles, i really understand how you feel it sucks to turn a corner and find out that something else is screwed up. keep it going, though, you are at the point of NO RETURN. The labor alone for sure would offset the cost of the build.

I bought it @ copart...and I still got it at a great price...I just wish the drivetrain and not been damaged, but hence the price.

In it for the long haul...

Wow! Such a cool build. Front fenders are "glass". Might save you some money over stock. Look at some of the threads for prepping for off road. You candy some things now that will help you later. They don't cost much to do. Pay big dividends down the road.

Make sure to ask some of the vendors around here for stock take-offs. They will help you out if they can an save young time!

Keep up the good work. We're all following this thread and cheering you on!!!

That is pretty cool. That truck got f'n waffled. Have you thought about a crate motor other than a 6.2? Maybe cheaper than another 6.2 and supercharger. Aluminum big block might be cool. Going 2-wheel drive might be lighter and save money also. This could be fun...
