Body off build going down!

[HETvet]

So, I currently work at a diesel repair and performance shop in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Due to my military experience, Ive been given a full build project of a 1992 FMV H1; 2.5" body lift, 2" suspension lift, 12K geared hub rebuild, center front diff, 3.08:1 ARB locking differentials front and rear, 12" brake up grade, H1Alpha front drive shaft, 6 speed Allison transmission, LBZ Duramax, geared hub heat sinks, T-Case cooler, CTIS delete. The body shop next door will be handleing the paint and interior work.

The next one up is the shops 86. It's getting all the above but a compound turbo 12 valve cummins, 3" body lift, front and rear winches.

We might have rebuildable take off parts if anyone might be interested.

If anyone is interested in seeing these things, or would like to have some work done on your steel soldier, feel free to direct message me.

2" lift.... I can barely get in the standard vehicle.

You have to run that size body lift to run the duramax/Allison combo in an H1 minus the Alpha. But to swap in a cummins you don't have to lift it at all

Is that an electric fuel pump on the rail?

Yes it is. Basically what happened is the customer bought the truck and payed ~$30K for a different shop to do the duramax Allison swap. He was having some issues with it so he brought it to us. And, well, things were a ton worse than he thought. So, it's now snowballed in to a full on build. That fuel pump is a raptor pump and supplies fuel to the CP3 injection pump. But, it acts as a restriction in the fuel system when the engine needs more fuel than what that thing can provide.
