I'm working on a model of my FIL's f250. For the engine I used the stock parts from the monogram f250. I scratch built the HPOP, and used the distributer to simulate the fuel filter/water seperator. The turbo is from a big rig kit. I used the intake hoses to make up pipes for the turbo. I'm using the TTB front axle from the bronco kit, as well as it's transfer case. I used the rear bronco springs in the front, and made crude shackles. I initially planned to use the monogram body, and swap in the AMT front end. The scales are too far off, so I will graft 2 AMT cabs to make the king cab, and still used the monogram chassis. This is as far as I am right now 7.3L power stroke front suspension scratch tailpipe, to replace the skinny dual pipes

Hmm, interesting thought on using the TTB from the Bronco... as I think I have one of those lying around! Will remember that when I get to my pickup project...

I've been doing some body work, and putting the interior together. I cut the back off one cab, and the front off the other put 'em together she'll be nice and long filling the seams. I put a styrene strip infront of the rear window to fill the gap. same for the interior cut off the headrests for the backseat, as well as the coffee holders. Had some filling to do for the hole where the coffee holders were, and make a back panel for the front seats
