Great video...speaking of brutes....man, that sure is one!
I love the front bumper....kinda a upgraded retro style. What's the hole on the drivers side for? steering box?
It's for the blackout. The Cdn version have the blackout light into the bumper instead on the hood. I will fit a 4" yellow fog light in that hole for road purposeQuote:

Had a shop fabricated a plain dash panel .... i wanted to keep the stock looking dash ... so i installed VDO electric gauges that match the stock ones ... with addition of new switches.

good job. glad to see it back on the road. and that was FAST. you are a speedy Son of Gun
i hope that fan isn't you only cooling fan. if so i imagine you may have some issues when working that 6bt. also it appears that the fan is not up against the radiator, if so that will greatly reduce its effectiveness. on the road i doubt you have any issues unloaded, but going slow or putting a load on it i bet the temp guage starts to climb. hope it doesn't work this way and everything is fine for your sake though

for now i dont have any heat issue ... but this is the 12" fan that need to goes between the rad and the engine. Another hi performance 14" Zirgo pushing 3000 cfm will be bolted in the front to replace the smaller one. In the pic, i'm missing the water intercooler radiator .... the same dimension as the lower one ... and like the rad by itself ... 3" thick. After that , the two fan will be against the rad. The only real issue is the way to cool it with the fans ... or could have fixed that if i had cut the firewall.
Also a stock 6bt is not really enough for driving the truck ... with all the upgrades now i can have fun driving on the street. With everything installed on the truck i should weight around 8500 pounds ... and picking up my canadien M104 trailer that weight another 2400 pounds .... So the 6bta will be just fine .... with an empty trailer.
Btw .... i have worked 12 hours a days for 10 days to complete the swap with at least 40 hours of good help.And everything used on the swap was high quality and try to build with parts easilly availaible at any auto parts.
Next will be to installed my rear winch and saving to buy two ARB rockwell lockers for it. In the meantime i will finished the water intercooler installation and alcool injection .... and the cooling fans before those hot days started.
Still some fun to comes ...............
Week end purchase ........ Canadien M104 with combat wheels complete with an almost new tarp.

On My M715, i just had ti installed another radiator under the bed because the cummins was running too hot in traffic. Now with another one and dedicated fans , even in very hot weather jammed in highway traffic the engine never see more then 190 degree !!!
