Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

I just got my hands on a 2008 IC FE 300!
It has the Dt 466 and Allison combo.
I’m glad to finally join the forum and share my experience in this build and also learn from this community. I’m excited to start building.

Right now I’m cleaning it out and attacking some rust. Not quite sure where to start. I do have the skills to attack the project from any angle and I have built the interior of two buses for friends but this would be mine and since I have seen what other owners “wish they had” I have a solid idea of what will it will take to build. Right now I’m doing prep work. I took flooring out and plan to seal it, then put subfloor in. I’ll be searching and reading threads for a while.

That is a cool looking shorty. 30ft?
My IC was built Mar 08 with a 466ci block, a black MF. Is your block black or blue?
