Subcribed! I've only ever seen 1 other truck like that, except it was a 2wd 3/4 or 1ton srw short bed step side. It sold for $350 complete running w/a 352 and 4spd. Wish I would have bought it, guy said it was and old forrestry truck. Can't wait to see yours done!

these truck were ordered and built due to their huge cabs and ability to haul workers to the jobsite. ive noticed they are more popular in the western logging states.

Well I made a little more progress today.

I got the batteries mounted. I wanted to keep them out of the way. I thought about mounting them in the inner fenders like a late model but that would but a lot of stress on the core support. I decided to go under the flatbed. Before I get it in the road I will put a lead out somewhere so I can jump it if I need to.

Since I messed up on my previous core support rebuild I had to get another one. This one is not in the greatest shape, but everything fits now. I will keep an aye out for a good solid one.

Hopefully more work tomorrow.

I got my battery cables run up to the starter. I also put in a master disconnect switch.

I got put a coat of rattle can black on the core support after wire wheeling most of the rust off. I moved my radiator mounts over as well.

Hopefully more progress today.

I started on the wiring today. I am totally replacing the wiring that was in the truck. It had been hacked up a bunch. There are two 40 amp fuses, one runs a fuse panel that will be hot all the time. The other runs a fuse panel that is wired through a relay to turn on when the ignition switch is in the on position. I have the ignition switch all wired up as well as the temperature gauge.

Here is how I make my battery cables. I use 2/0 arctic grade welding cable. The ends are crimped on with the tool. Shrink tube is used to seal the terminal to the cable to prevent corrosion.

I should be able to get a lot more of the wiring done tomorrow.

Well I started it today. No burned wires or explosions. Just a shop full of diesel smoke. I took some video since everyone seems to like that.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who enjoys a beer while working on my truck.

Looks like the swap is coming along quite nicely. Keep it up.

I would be a little skeptical of someone who doesn't drink beer while working on their truck.
