Motor is coming together nicely. Didn't know you were putting something together.
How's the search going for the truck's body parts you need, Riley?

Yes Tom I have been acquiring parts for the last 2 years or so. I was able to find rods and pistons here from guys that changed their minds. I worked a 63 night shutdown at work and started buying more stuff. Wagler did the machine work and assembly. I wanted to do the assembly myself, but time has became very valuable to me, and experience also. I am going to pick up a cab off an 06 Friday, that is only a 30 drive from home. However I am getting ready to start 7/12's again at work, so it will be sometime in September before I can continue working on it. This is how it sits for now, I stripped it down to this Sunday afternoon

I had the privilege of seeing this motor up close, it is very impressive. Its a shame about the body damage. Hopefully come September this truck will be ripping up the roads again.
This thread and seeing this motor has definitely re-inspired my diesel enthusiasm.

Look at the bright side, it'd be a good time to strip it down to the frame and paint and clean everything!

Of course you would mention that. I have thought about blasting it and powder the frame

Blue and gray will be on it still, but I am unsure of the exact scheme. I am leaving it up to my paint guy. He asked what I thought this time, I told him he had an open canvas.

Made some progress today. Other than swapping idler pulleys and a shorter belt, any reason this belt routing won't work?

I would think that setup would slip on the a/c compressor.
Agreed. I'd drop to the idler between the a/c compressor and your dual pump, run from the fan idler straight over to the p/s pump.
LB7 CC SB, 10mm Exergy, 30% injectors, AirDog II 200, billet Stage V Trans, River City 66/74 IHI, Turbonetics Intercooler, PPE up-pipes/manifolds, complete engine ARP studded, Flex-a-Lite fan, AlliLocker, E-Locker, TrueTrac, topped off with EFILIVE, to name a few...
