Water pumps fit and the Stellings headers are huge. Will know in a couple days what hatch we will need either a raised race hatch or a flat with scoops still debating.

I'm not crying we are moving the water pumps, Everyone doesn't have deep pockets like you do to drop 4-5K on boxes
. We are doing good still drilling crooked holes in the ground. Cat is still in FL. Really just got started rigging on it. We have the drive shafts fitted into the boat now , alternator is 2'' from bulkhead. This Cat was set up for crash boxes , they are 2'' shorter,, but that was then and now is now. All part of the process. Never give up just keep pecking away. Heading up to Kansas tomorrow to P/U the Cat puller.[ATTACH=CONFIG]502763[/ATTACH] How u been still in Big D?

It's an automatic 2006 Laramie 4x4 Mega 5.9 cummings with 60K miles. Very hard to find a low miler like this with the 40/20/40 front seat so it seats 6. Looks like new. Only mods are air bags in the rear and leveling kit in the front. Flip over ball in the bed. Picked it yesterday in Kansas reset MPG got home and checked it was 18.9 MPG.
