Cant remember the exact name of the stuff but instead of traditional balancing
They put a type of sand or somethin in the tire and when spinning it would even out and find the high an low or heavy or light spots

Worked great for me in my nitto mud grapplers

Thats what the guy at the ford dealership was suggesting, but i think i might have found someone who can do it the traditional way.

Drill a hole in one of those shells and put it on your keychain, thatd make a nice memory of all the work you put into this later on down the road! It's gonna be a beast OP, cant wait to see the final product

Probably thinking of these. A couple of guys I used to work with used them for their motorcycles. They seemed to like them.

What a cluster **** of things going on but looking forward for the final project. With the amount of stuff you have going on I'll check back in 2 years for partial progress... :)

Pulled the "cage" that bolted to the factory dash, should be ready to slip the new one in tomorrow, and start bolting things together

No way in hell stock heater core will even come close to fitting, already bought new one, waiting to pick it up.

Picked up all my door skins, all window switches. Waiting on new turbo parts.

sub'd. This is exactly what I wanted to do when I was trying to find a decently priced F350 cclb. Hopefully I can find one this spring when prices go down.

Interesting build. I assume all the dust will be wiped off everything before you bolt it up? ;)
