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.

2011 or Newer 6.7 Diesel Excursion Build Thread
11
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.
