Thanks Gigger, the PO really loved this truck. She may have near 400k on her but she drives much younger then that. Every time I go to do somethin on it I realize the PO already did it. Shes not perfect though, got alot of little things like the interior needs redone and the turbo leaks oil.
"The ugly truck" at least until I get the time to paint it again (before the end of summer). '90 7.5L/Auto that I picked up for a grand last year. Always wanted a long crew 4x4 so I couldn't pass up the deal since my friend wanted out of this after buying a Super-Duty. Truck came with a K&N, cat deleted and dual 2 1/2" exhaust. Threw a tool box, headache rack and a set of 255/85 KM2s on it and aside from some worn out front suspension parts and lots of clean up just been driving the wheels off the thing. Also fixed lots of wiring, whoever wired it for the camper and trailer REALLY liked scotch locks but had an aversion to any sort of tape or heat shrink.
Shortly before I bought it:
Pic from a few months ago of how she sits now

Its looking pretty dang good. Clean clean clean. Nice truck overall.
Hope you don't mind if I ask a couple questions. First, is that your stock upper intake but powder coated black? Second, what headers am I seeing?

It looks great by the way.

It was originally the lovely metallic poo brown color Ford used on these things, then was a red/white company truck and whoever had it after that thought it would look way more bad-***-er if they did a sweet no mask spray bomb job. I spent the first week polishing lights and removing paint from the windows and mirrors.
yeah stock intake.. but its not powder coated.. its paint.. everything underhood is paint. no need for powder coating if ya know the tricks to painting.,..
its port matched to the trick flow heads so its not really a stock intake anymore really..
the headers are Hedman long tubes.
my whole setup is in my Sig.
