The build/resto begins

Well several box's arrived from XDP and my 1999 F 250 PSD is going to get a mild restoration and build. Ya the truck is 15 1/2 yrs old 300K on the engine. But its a one owner AZ only vehicle and i really love the truck and believe it needs some help to get at least another 300K out of it. will be doing alot of cosmetics but will remove the bed clean and paint the frame and see where it goes. Ill post updates as i go and wish me luck.

Take them to a good upholstery shop and have them redo and upgrade the foam, you will really like them.

I just did all my seats with upholstery I got from leatherseats.com and I am really happy with the outcome.

ya since their both power i know replacing them with buckets would be costly. They are a cloth material rt now but would like to go with a good leather vinyl combo.

Thanks for the pic tip, I'll load those tonite and also thanks on the tips for upholstery at 318K they may be more tired than the engine. Cleaning the frame u begin to realize why frame off take so long. so I'll do current ones tonite

I don't think he's figured out the "Go Advanced" and "Manage Attachments" gig yet.
