i would use the banks if i had the money i have the oil return plate of the other truck, now i just have to decide if i should rebuild the old turbo or use it as it is, it has a little shaft movement but the blades don't touch the walls. also ive been chasing this one down for some time is there...

Guess I got lucky then mine was not that rusted, yes I know all about the salt up north that's why I went to Florida. I started a build thread on mine to, take a look if ya want http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?120597-My-85-M1008-restoration-project

Did you pick that up in Florida, I'm surprised it has so much rust ?

Definitely want to install turbo, but I need to figure out how I'm going to do it i would like to use a lot of 6.2 parts. how did you do yours did you keep stock injectors and use spacers for the manifolds, and how did you make the manual boost. did you use stock fuel pump?
