another updates for this year ....
Find a military ammos case , fit like a tool box bolted in the bed of the truck. Will worked on heater ducts solution and also found what the call Batteriy Equalizer made by Vanner model 65-60. Very special that use the 24v and 12v and equalize the current and voltage between thems. Here's some explains .... I have installed 12v heater and fans ... plugged them only on ONE of the batteries .... so i have kill them since they were not very in shape ... so with the equalizer .... it took each batteries and make sure that when you are asking 12 volts on only one ... that the second batterie also drained equally .. so if you need like 12V 10A ... they took 5A from each batteries. And this is made to be charged on 24V .... very special !! I had this thing that someone give me this summer ... supposed to cost around $750 cdn.
So need this thing installed by this weekend and yesterday installed one new battery ... Optima ... one red top and one yellow top. I already installed a yellow top this automn and the price got inflated by 40% ... so get a red top ..almost $100 less then my yellow one.
Will post some pictures next year !!! :D

Stop to weight the truck this morning .... tank full with some tools and recovery straps .... 7430 pounds to be exact .... This weight a lot more then what i was expecting.
Some quick updates ..... 6bta should be in there very soon. Also waiting for some good news and having some money left ... will give a call to the Ouverson guys. Looking to ordered 2 lockers and a set of casted front locking hubs.
And still looking for a 4 wheels disk brake conversion using Ford F550 caliper and bus rotor.

Yes they were having bad cables which broke .... everithing if fixed now. I got mine custom made with 15" shifters ...
That shifter is cooooool!!!!
here's some updates ..... Had to repair the tranny since the park was not working. Tearing all apart to replace a $2 spring ... 5 hours job. Had to open also the Np205 for the twin stick .... inspect everything, grinding the rail and installed the cable shift system from NorthWestFab. The engine is now ready to fired up, the dpk is done and a new strap and configuration have been done to remove all unnecessary accessories.
