Here we go again Build #2 2011 or newer 6.7l Diesel Build Thread. Let's start this off with pics of the Excursion we bought for the Build. It is a 2005 Ex V10 Limited with 210,000 miles. It has captain chairs in the second row and a DVD player. This Ex never pulled a trailer in it's life time. It was used for limousine service. Hit in front and drivers side.

Progress so far. Truck up on the frame rack so we can straighten the quarter. Gutted the interior and have all the wiring pulled out, striped and labeled for the conversion.

Started on the Excursion today. Drilled out the floor and outer rockers, Need to cut the inner rockers and the windshield pillars and the front part body will be lose. Pulled the rear drive shaft so all we have to do is cut the frame and roll the body, frame and motor and tranny of the frame rack. The 2nd row seats from the Expedition EL showed up today.

Got everything epoxy painted. Next week to work on welding the frames together.

 

[pdombrowicki]

We have separation! Time to start putting it back together.

 

[pdombrowicki]

Frame is all welded together.

 

[pdombrowicki]

Welds all cleaned up and painted. Slide the axle out from under the box and put it under the Ex frame. Decided to use the springs from the truck so we have to move the front spring perches forward 8". Going to have the drive shaft shorten from the 12.

 

[pdombrowicki]

Spring perches moved forward and all tided up. Gas tank and Shield back in. Start messing with the Euro tank.

 

[pdombrowicki]

Eura tank mounted, brake lines all cut a spliced. Tomorrow cut and shorten the wiring harness.
