So what did you do with your truck today?

[DougBoy66]

@DougBoy66 & @Nero & some you others look at my thread I posted back in 2018 Oil Cooler Rebuild Boo-Boo, About starting with post #11 I show a test plate I built and later where I got the directions.

I wish I had seen it sooner, looks like we had very similar ideas

Not pulling or hauling anything crazy but the idi earning it’s keep

Made it home from my trip. Truck did fantastically. Only one concerning part during the whole go, while climbing that steep hill 6.8 gradient for 3 miles, got up to 230F coolant temp for a second. Turned off the ac, went full blast heater, cooled down to 210 pretty quick.

Waiting on the radiator to cool off so I can pull the cap and see how much I lost.. Some did spray out past the cap. Not much though.

Edit, she still full. What a champ. Love this ol gal

Tapped out enough 1/4x20's for the future powered running boards.
Will add dedicated door switches so only the side with the open door will extend.

It's just too high for some folks to climb into.
Here it is parked, after a trip around the block.
First time it's moved under it's own power since 2011.
Still have so much to do.

@divemaster5734 that is one nice looking rig. I have always liked the centurion broncos.

There are a couple of really nice powerstroke centurion broncos that I occasionally see around my area.

I was undecided which way to go when planning the engine/transmission swap.
Really wanted the PS power, but really like the IDI simplicity.
Then got a deal on a '90 donor that couldn't be beat.
