Dropped the truck off today.

Also got the bullnose fired up for Levi.

Anyone ever bought a supercab truck cover? I'm looking around, LMC only has regular cab covers.

I guess no one knows where to get a supercab truck cover. I'm also looking for a plastic bed liner and tailgate protector. All the google searches pop up are generic stuff for newer trucks.

Ray, I meet you at Gary's truck show several years ago. I was in the AWD Flex cause my bronco rear glass was still out of commission. I bought a couple of covers from these guys, One for my Jeep and one for my son's mustang convertible. I was real pleased with the quality of the covers. I picked long bed on your truck??? Here is a link.

No updates on the truck just yet.

I did start on another 91 Bricknose F250 7.3 IDI project this week. A friend brough his over and we started doing a ZF5 swap from a E4OD.

Found out the flywheel LUK sent us was accidentally for a Turbo motor. The Counterbore on the flywheel measured 2.04" ID. The shoulder on the crank it was supposed to go onto measured 2.140" OD. Thats a hundred thousandths interference. Sucks, but we figured it out.

Well, turns out we were wrong. The E4OD we removed had a spacer on the crank that we all mistook as part of the crank. I pulled that spacer off and bingo, that flywheel went right on. Lol. Lice and learn.

Little hint when spraying wet the floor down to keep the dust down.
Looking good
