These pictures were taken just before we pulled the truck in the garage for the first time and started working on it.

We did not waste any time, we pulled the engine out and over the next month Dick replaced all the main components, performed a partial rebuild and inspected everything else to make sure we had a healthy and reliable engine.
We are using the stock 2.9L engine but in the future we will replace it with 4.0L Ford engine.

After that we built a roll cage which is a requirement for racing.

Last week we went for a test drive for the first time, we were happy with the results

Time is going very fast, with a month left before our first race the Norra Mexican 1000 we are running like crazy to get the truck ready.
