My 87 F250's Life with me as Owner

I bought my truck about 6 months ago at a dealer auction, because my brother is a car dealer. I should have taken a picture of the truck when I first got it. It is my truck with a cap and running boards. After taking the running boards and cap off I came to this picture.



Now after buying used 46" stacks and installing them I end up looking like this






Now those stacks look absolutely ridiculous that high so I cut 10" off of them and also straightened them out because they were crooked. Thanks to toadx8u and my brother we lifted my truck 4" and then put 37" tires under it. The almost final product is this:





All that is left to do is paint it...which is way down the road.
