My baby! 1991 F150 4x4

I have added a pic of my baby. She is a 1991 Ford F150 4x4 with a 4.9. The truck has power steering (new gear box and hoses). Working A/C...thank the lord because I am clueless in this department. Is there a vent filter in this year? if so where is it found? heat works great and the cooling system has be flushed and new multi antifreeze added. changed plugs cap and rotor, cleaned throttle body, added performance filter from ford (ebay 30$) aluminum 15" wheels with bfg 32x12.5x15 AT tires. New shocks and every(yes every) bushing bearing ect. checked and or replaced including the entire front end...with a donor rear end from a 20k truck.
I also had the exhaust redone with a flowmaster 40 and downpipe center bed....not enough compression to make it sound great but it sounds alot better than when it had flex pipe extraviganza on it....all piping welded...no clamps.
I added nerf bars (139$) ebay which are stainless and handle my 260lb body and ventshades (39$) ebay which are always good especially for us smokers who want the smoke and ash to go outside...
Interior is pretty nice although I want to recover the seat....dunno what kind of price to put on that project but a future one at least
I also would like to rebuild the steering column...or change this out, I had to replace the turn signal switch and it took the tilt steering switch instead of the non...and it doesnt have tilt...but is kinda sloppy up and down motion....
I have installed a cd headunit and brank new infinity speakers inside....
body is a little dinged up and could use some polishing and bondo work....i hate this part....
Paint is also far off future...may decide to change out engine before then.

Anyhow just and intro to my ride hope you all enjoyed it and I also hope you watch my progress as I don't plan on being done with her for possibly years!!!

There is a PCV filter inside the air cleaner housing. But you probably saw it when replacing the air filter.

Let's see some closeup pictures of your classic truck!

Anyone have comments or suggestions? I wanted to get the under part of the lightning of this year for the front bumper...dunno if it would look right or not may have to get entire bumper and underfiller.

There was no bricknose Lightnings.....You'll have to do a full front clip swap.....Fenders, hood, cowl, bumper, and radiator support.....

THEN you can get the $35 Plastic front valance.....LOL
