The frame has been power washed and is 95% ready to be blasted and painted. That is a huge weight off my shoulders.

You should weld up them cross members like ya would on a dirt track car and box the frame.

Nice I have a 1995 f350 7.3 cclb 217,000, and I love it. I have the cx racing intercooler, and it's a nice kit.

Mine is in pieces, my intercooler setup was off an e99 with carson stauffer pipes. Something I don't need right now. Have a new core support mounts and bushings. Custom tuned hydra, kc stockish turbo, bellowed up pipes, e-fuel etc.

Nice I'm getting ready to install my Adrenaline hpop and Marty's efuel. On the fence on doing a t4 set up after that. Hopefully you get yours back together soon.

Just alittle overkill for a half ton. Ive hauled some stuff with the truck before the frame broke. I think this no rot frame will be more than sufficient.

Sounds like it'll live a life of ease now anyway right?

Yeah it will be good for many years to come. Hopefully it will get a break from the salt...
