Funny you mention that. The same seller that was selling the Valve Body was also selling the exact pan too but I lost the auction on it at the last minute by 2.50:rolleyes:

So any ways I will get a new one from Mag Hytec before i slap in the Valve Body.


And Ted when your Ready lemme know :D
 






So since i have bought this it has been parked at the truck stop while i have been on the road .

Was a little leary when i finally made it home today since it has been sitting that the battery would be dead. Such was not the case hopped in it today and she fired right up :D

Yeah I think this one is a Keeper :D

it is just begging to be driven, plates on Monday:thumbsup:
 






Good stuff mate!!!
 






Awesome, that V8 will be getting a work out :D
 






I just saw this too- I knew you got the valve body from Nick, but didn't know you wanted the pan too- I'd have just gone over there and got it for you! lol!

The truck does shift amazingly well with that Lentech in there... You'll like it. No more laaaazy Explorer shifts!

welp had a few hours to kill yesterday after Picking up a Load Olathe KS so i stopped at the house and played with the Mounty :D

With the Help of Blueka AKA Simon i was able to acquire a set of the UK Spec Rear Fog Lamps for the Rear Bumper :D

gave them the First trial fitting to see what it would like and what i need to get them Mounted.
