Bought this truck because it was a mint gasser which are impossible to find. Unfortunately it was clad in all things I hate about trucks....chrome rims bug guards rain shields chrome running boards.

Before



After all junk taken off...and adding 35-12.5 20 Toyo AT Xtreme s and Fuel Couplers

 

Looks good. I too purchased a 2011 gasser that needed some changes. It had been 'plasti-chromed' by the dealer!

I'm old though, so I kept the steps...

 

Hey, a grandpa of 3 here, but I still like what you did to your F250. Looks sharp.

 

looks good but I would've kept the mudflaps on.

 

Never could figure out why its considered "grandpaish" to have some silver or chrome wheels, some chrome bumpers (which are more durable than painted) and a couple other chrome pieces on the truck. Sure some guys overdo it but most trucks don't come overdone from the factory. Maybe I just have too many mennonites in my area, this whole "blacked out' thing everyone seems to want, don't do a thing for me. Whatever floats the boat I guess.

 

I would have kept the bug guard and rain guards! Guess it depends on where you live

 

I could not agree more. I have a 2015 F-350 SRW KR with the "Chrome Pkg". OMG! It is a single color platinum white with 20" chrome wheels, bumpers, mirrors and tow hooks. I have taken off all the KR badging, and plan to remove the FX4 stickers next. Black wheels disappear into the wheel wells, esp. on a white truck. To each is own, for sure. I am 57, though with kids 14 and 9, a ways from being a grandpa!

 

In 20 years, the first thing the yet unborn generation will do to that used truck is take off those "grandpa-ish" matte black wheels. Eww. How ancient they will say.

Like beads hanging in the door way, fuzzy dice, pet rocks, cabbage patch dolls, affliction t shirts, members only jackets, flames on the hood, curb guard feelers under the bumper, tennis ***** on CB radio antennas, rainbow colored Starsky & Hutch rally stripes... it will all soon pass. Including matte black, star shaped, spooky spoke wheels. It will be asked "What were they thinking?"

 

I was gonna say excellent job jterry, but......still pretty grampa to me!! You gotta step it up to get my approval. All my 3 kids are in there 20s so I could be a grampa, but, you got a ways to go before that one is de-grampaed. I appreciate your effort though! Check out my de-grampa build in "2009 f350 V10 build". I still have chrome cup holders in the interior and wont get a good nights sleep till those are fixed!

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that two tone still makes it a grandpa truck. Haha!
And black wheels are played out.

 

Says the guy with black wheels and a two tone truck as his sig pic! Haha love it!

 

 

The thing I cant figure out is the guys with piercings, gages, studs, and tats all seem to think that a truck has to have all the chrome removed from it to look good.

 

I just LOOK like my kids grandparent. I'm 53 and they are 14 and 15.

 

same here, I am 56 and have 21 and 19 yo bio daughter and son, and a 6 yo adopted son. Poeple are always asking him if he is having fun with grampa.
