    Very nice welds, melted into the 2 pieces nicely, and very consistent. Is that stick (nickel) welding?

    Looks like brushed up MIG. Very clean.

    Alright so unfortunately I'm not the owner of a mighty max, however I do all the work on my friends and he wants me to do this swap for his 88, I understand all the work that you did for the most part, my question is since you used the truck water pump did you use the pulley made for the 4g63t water pump because his stock water pump uses a v belt and I thought the turbo motors used serpentines

    Looks great Josh, 175 amp is plenty. I'm going to say you're running co2 shielding gas with that hard wire. My little Lincoln prefers 75/25 the 25% argon runs hotter and cleaner (too hot for sheet metal). Thor brothers, great choice they make some awesome quality parts. The 4 link parts I bought from them their welds are freaking beautiful.

    Are going to use a pan hard or watts linkage for tracking?

    Yea I run C25(75/25) with mild steel. Im going to be running a triangulated 4-link so no need for panhard or watts.

    Yea I used the 4g63t water pump pulley and used a press to adjust it to line up with thw pulleys since the truck water pump is longer.

    Have your drive shaft lengthened how ever much needed(should not be 4") by a shop. They weld a new driveshaft tube in between the joints and balance it.

    Working on getting the firewall all smooth so I can throw paint and clear on it then start putting the truck back together again.

    Thank you guys. Yea my uncle (ironworker) taught me the basics when i was 18 or so and I messed around with it a little and made a few things. But ive gotten a lot more into welding after buying my own welder 2 years ago and am getting decent with it. I love welding now lol

    Been working on finishing up all the little things I need to do, wiring clean up and wrapping, brakes, brake lines.
    Well I finally started on the brakes/lines. I'm getting rid of the stock proportioning valve and running an adjustable prop. valve so I have a few extra lines and a distribution block to get rid of. Bought a roll of copper/nickel brake tubing and got to it. This is where I'm at, line to thee rear from master cylinder is done, line to pass side is 1/3 done and I haven't started on the drivers yet but it will be short and easy. I will probably get them finished tomorrow.


    Also as you can see in the first pic I got my firewall/engine bay/core support all smoothed and painted. Its not perfect but I'm happy with it for the time being, it is MUCH nicer than it previously was.

    Oh yeah I was like a kid on Christmas when it first when up and down itself on air. Won't be too long and it'll be running again. Motor is about to go back in this weekend and then it will only be a few more weeks hopefully(that's what I keep saying).

    Thanks Ethan, it's slowly getting there, just wore out from the heat and long days at work. Should hopefully start putting the motor in this weekend, and have some more pics up soon.

    Only one pic, but a big step happened this weekend. Got a bunch of stuff done on the engine and got it back into the truck!! Now I can finish the wiring 100% and finish the truck. Shouldn't be too much longer until I am driving it

    I've read through the posts in this thread and saw most of the pics and I've got to say is that I love this truck. It looks very well done and you can tell that you care for it with all of the hard and meticulous work you've put into it. Please keep posting pics and keeping us updated.

    Thank you man, that means a lot that you said that!!! It's not perfect or the nicest build out there, but I am definitely putting my all into it and trying to make sure I atleast do stuff as good as possible and not shorting anything anywhere.

    EDIT: BTW, that horrid looking valve cover will not be staying on there, I have a different version that will be getting powder coated and put in its place soon enough.
