these are all over Facebook market place, i believe there is a few dealers around the US that sell the imported bodies, at least that is how it was explained to me, i see them from $9,500-$10,00 in their listings

i tapped mine for a 1/4" pipe plug rather than using RTV, it has oil in it but i have not driven it yet but so far no leaks

im not going to turn someone else's post in a different direction or argue with someone on the internet we all know how that goes but @jamesroney you're already contradicting your original statement The Ford Coyote, LS, and Cummins has the oil pump driven by a chain or gear. You can't even prime...

you do know you can use an external pressure tank with oil in it and force oil through the engine to prime engines like an LS or coyote that use a crank driven oil pump. i work for a Cat dealer and we prime every engine we rebuild before it starts with an external pressure fed oil system...

thanks all, I'm going to make some brackets to hold the 4 corners like the original. ill keep the fill tube 1/4-1/2 inch off the frame if i need to tweak things later i can but this should get me close enough

Im still going to have it supported on the bottom i just want to be able to install it without the body on the frame. The high capacity aftermarket tanks all seem to pull up against the underside of the body where the stock tank had brackets front and back it pulled up against. I have a skid...

Hello Im installing a wild horses 23 gallon tank on the frame without the body bolted on and im wanting to make some brackets similar to the stock tank brackets that hold the corners rather than sucking it up to the bottom of the body. Since I dont have the body on the frame I cant measure and...

thanks for the heads up

good to know i have been thinking about ordering a carpenters grill so it has the ford letters stamped but i may just get the ford emblems and do that instead anyone know if the back of the bolt on grille emblems are flat or do they contour to go over the letters ? thanks

Here are some pictures of the front grill fitment to the lower fenders. Will take a little work but nothing to difficult and I totally expected some fitting snd tweaking was going to take place and I would expect that when any tub you bought

from what i can tell on their website the only parts actually made in the USA are the grille, tailgate, and rocker panel. when you look at their parts if its stamped or made in USA it says that right at the top of the description, the rest just say something like precision stamped or new tooling...

the body is better than expected the only real issue i have seen so far and ill get a picture of it is the fitment of the grill to fender on the bottom on the left side it will require some work to get it to fit the rest has good gaps and everything seems to fit well, i have not bolted the...

People asking about seam sealer hwre are a few more shots of some of the sealer. To add aome context about the overseas body purchase decision. I agree with what other folks are saying about wanting to source stuff made in USA but the bodies built in the US are assembled here not stamped here...

I cant imagine its change that quickly but mine is fully seam sealed

Yes everything appears to be seam sealed, im sure there is spots that could be better but it all looks pretty good to me.
