Morning FTE! Just wanted to take some time and show off my baby that I have been working on after work non stop for a month now and its really coming along. Let me know what you think and any other suggestions of what I could do to it. The back story behind it is that I bought it for 1500 and it was in pretty bad condition cosmetically. So needless to say i've done a ton of body work to her and since she is going to be a DD and a trail truck i decided to have a rhino lined paint job

Now it has
All body work done
9 inches of lift in front
7 inches in the rear
33 x 12.50x 15
Jasper 351 motor and jasper trans with off stuff done here and there
Custom spare tire mount
plenty more i cant think of right now.

 

I like it man looking good

 

Thanks i appreciate that. Can't figure what i want to do next

 

I would do clear turns on it IMO

 

I like that idea Jamie. anything else anyone can think of. I'm just drawing blanks right now

 

once I I get the sockets I need (deep throat I believe) I will get to working on the lamps hehe, they are also rusted screws so I need to PB blast them little suckers, but I honestly like the clear lenses and amber LEDS/bulbs there in place of an out of place looking lense...the amber bulbs with clear just looks alot better to me!

 

Rusted stuff on a older Ford.. noooo

 

tinted windows? tinted tail lights?

 

Tinted windows are coming, just need to fix the drivers side window (came out of track)

 

shoulda seen the frame before I got it taken care of LOL just check out the project thread of mine in my siggy

damn things are being pests and its too damnd hot out there to really do any work!!! I just may take it to the local garage and have them do it so its done that way I can just get the LEDS taken care of tho I juat may have them loosen every thing so i can extract it all hehe....gee i wish i had an air conditioned garage now

 

how much black do you want? you could paint the grill black?

 

you can start with a front end alignment haha nice truck man!

 

What are you running for an intake and exhaust? if you want it to be a daily driver, at least pull some milage out of it.

 

Nick, Once I get the ball joints in the front on upper and lower that is the first thing that is happening

GNR, I'm running K&N procharger? system or something like that and for exhaust it is straight piped

 

K&N is definitely good, id at least put a short glass pack on and give it some back pressure, believe it or not, better MPGs that way. my next question, because its straight piped, when you rev it up and then let off, does it sound like a popcorn machine? meaning it cracks and pops until its back to idle.
