A few things.
I made it run on its own power and move around the yard again. It now has new brake lines and a new gas tank. Suck on that, haters :moon:
I sold off all the parts I didn't need from the donor truck. In a fit of sanity, that also included the rear D60-ISU and the shittiest front 60 anyone has ever laid eyes on. I've got some things in the works for the front axle and the rear will likely be a narrow track / DRW / cab and chassis 14 bolt, because I want the tires to be mostly inside the fenders and can get one cheap. I don't need ground clearance here, so don't bother arguing about it.
I'm down to $270 spent on my 5.9, ECU, NV4500, NP241DLD, after scrapping and selling the rest of the truck, and I still have a full set of dodge headlights and taillights to sell off. Not that they're selling.
Front axle build involves spindles, hubs, rotors, and calipers/caliper brackets off an early 90s Dodge kingpin 60. Past that I'm still nerding it up in my CAD app, but a lot of people will tell me 1. it's stupid 2. I won't ever finish it and 3. it's stupid, so I'm not saying another word till I either abandon it or finish it.
