Thanks for the comments and complements everyone.

The wire pass through is fabricated... to look like a factory item.

Rear is lowered. This was already addressed earlier in the thread. DJM drop brackets and original used saggy F100 leaf springs reconditioned.

...We anticipate Rake. This truck will look aggressive. Ready for Ragnarok.

Also notice that there is no bed or any weight on the back. You can't really tell how it will sit until it's done. But yeah there will be rake.

Copy that, still though mine is lowered 5.5" rear and 3" front and has a mild rake. Your talking 5" front drop and 4" rear. That's 60s drag car type of rake

Not sure where you're going with this. I'm also not sure why you suggested EFI. ...Anyways, I think we have everything covered and addressed. Appreciate your concern and input. Thanks for following.

LED Headlights installed.

JW Speaker 8700 Evolution 2
7" Round LED Headlight (Black)







Before and After.




Misc. NOS parts for the build. Finally found my second headlight retaining ring so I figured it was time for headlights.

Have you used that led headlight before?
Do they look ok in the truck? They look smoked, can you see the components easily like the picture, or did you catch it just right.

Do they look ok? Well, I like them. That's why I bought them and put them on. The black bezel option makes them look smoked. They have a chrome bezel as well.

There is absolutely no reason to NOT run LED lighting and replace halogen. Halogen is obsolete. This goes for household applications as well. Less power consumed, almost no heat produced, better stronger light, much much longer lifespan. It's a no brainer.

I like the idea, but don't care for the look. You've gone so much out of your way to use NOS parts and make the truck look as though Ford originally built it that way, this sort of throws that whole thing off for me. But it is your truck, not mine.
