    Gotta repaint my M1008

    I cut it 25% with paint thinner mineral spirits I think. Been a few years but I know I cut it only 25%. I just sanded the trucks no primer. The correct way would to use a etching primer them paint. I did not use A hardener until my last 151 I had done. It does get a little glossy with a hardener.

    Other boost options

    Building a 6.2 to handle lots of fuel and boost is a very pricy road to go down. It takes a lot of work and heavy inspections to make sure a 6.2 block and internal parts can handle it. I just read a build on the Internet (google 6.2 diesel build) and it to me might not sound worth it. Well over...

    header clearance

    Make sure tour headers are for a 1 ton and not a 1/2 or 3/4 ton. There will be a issue with trying to use headers for a 1/2 or 3/4 in the the 1 ton frame just like you have stated.
