Relatively New Here.

I've been on these forums on and off for the last couple of years now. Mostly I just browse, look for answers to some questions on some of my trucks (I have 4 Supeduty's I use as plow trucks), got a 99' F350, a 2000 F250, and 2 2002 F250's.

More recently I purchased a 2008 Ford F250 Superduty for myself (probably drive for a few months and sell, I'm in the used car business) and ended up finding some wheels/tires from a member on here (thanks Bill!). Started life as a base model F250, I put in the Headlights, Grille, and now the wheels/tires. Without further delay, here are some pics!

nice truck. wouldn't know she's a XL just from looking

I've been watching Craiglist for someone selling a 08+ truck. I've been offering guys my mirrors +$100 to swap mirrors. No takers yet, but I'm betting something similar happened with your prior owner

Would make sense, but also the XL's didn't come with towing mirrors so I'm wondering if someone tried to upgrade and used the wrong ones...

I agree, swap the mirrors...even if you use the older model, get the ones with the marker lights in them...like the guys said, You'd never know it started life as an XL.
