Nice!
Love the bumper.
Just needs a 545ci stroker built for a lot of nitrous instead of that fummins :)
But.. given your handle has the word 'diesel' in it I see why you went the route you did. Good job.

Exhaust brake is on! Actually have that turbo laying around but not worth messing with for me. The ats works well enough for this truck and what it needs to do with no complications

Where are you located at? Do you want to sell it? (Extra motor)

Don’t really want to sell it, but cash talks. Perfect swap candidate. Complete, ecm, harness, sensors, manifolds, turbo, full belt drive w/fan and motor mounts still bolted to it
Alternator is only thing missing

King ranch rear captains/ seat tray, console. Tilt collumn also installed. Gm flavor but not big deal and all wired up and working

Seats got overall height up 3/4” over stock but pitch put knees into collumn worse than would have thought so tilt was required

Those seats look great in there. I can see where tilt is a big benefit, but I love tilt wheel no matter the vehicle. Imagine the GM column was a lot easier to find than a 78-79 F-series tilt column. Those can't be too common anymore, not that they were to start with.
