If anyone needs a suspension lift or some special mods done such as welding or any fabricating done, I could quote you a price but for now it would have to be done in the summer because my garage is short and a lifted truck wouldn't fit in it.

I really don't know of any good shops in our area I guess thats why I do all the work myself.

I could not think of a more trustworthy Mechanic out there then these guys below. I have been going to them for 4 years now. On my first visit they did a diagnostic and told me that there was a vacuum tube loose, being that it took him all of 30 seconds to fix, he couldn't see chargin me. I have had reliable and trustworthy service since.

Souderton automotive.
Located at intersection of Rte 113 and Bethlehem Pike in Souderton Pa. Bucks county.
look it up on the yahoo yellow pages for the 18944 zip code.
I recommended them to a friend Who lives in NJ, about three years ago. This friend still goes out of his way to bring his vehicles there.

Hoopstir1, Its not real close to you, but check out Yocum Ford in Lansdale. I started taking my truck there for it's warrnaty issues. Ask to have Joe in the truck shop work on it. All he does is trucks, mostly diesels. He is a close friend of one of my buddies, and hell we've even gone hunting together. He's a good honest guy.

Harry Tillman's Auto repair in Concordville, PA. 610-459-4776. Used to be Auto Repair Unlimited before the owner tragically passed away. Having taking my F-350 and other cars there for over 10 years. One of the most honest group of people I have come across so far in my experience. Also use Brackin's Service Center in West Grove, PA. 610-869-8818. This guy is a Ford guy and he always fixes the stuff right the first time. Excellent "diagnoser" type guy.

I have gotten pretty good over the years doing several types of factory mods to my F-350 and others. Added alot of factory options (underhood lights / battery trays / air cleaner assemply / valve cover refinishing / factory clock / factory stereos / tailgate trim & hardware / lights / overhead cab lights / cargo lights / power windows and locks / sliding rear windows / hoods / all interior trim pieces / guages / intermittent wipers, interior courtesy lights (overhead, kick panels, ashtray, glovebox, etc.) I would be willing to help you do any of these mods for next to nothing if you are ever in the area. When I do these mods, I like to use factory wiring harness as to not "change" anything.

Having taking my F-350 and other cars there for over 10 years......I must agree with Coneynew. I live in that area and have taken my Chebby (B4 the Ford) they really know there stuff and prices are reasonable and they usually carry more parts than your local pep boys. Also, i know of a guy that is great and does side work at his house. He works on big rigs such as 18 wheelers, dump trucks, etc... Anyone in the Delaware County area is interested PM me and i can get you hooked up with him. Extremely reasonable prices and full of knowledge.

As far as southwestern PA i work at a NAPA auto care. I kno it will be bias comin from me, but we are honest. On bigger jobs we lower our labor rates, to make the jobs more affordable. Also one of the guys i work with has 24 years experiance with fords ( he worked at a dealership). He is the best i kno of when it comes to ford. Were up on Rt. 19 in Canonsburg right by the texaco and kings. Kind of a drive for me, but well worth it, good people, good friends, and honest people.
