Evolution of "The Mistress"
The day I bought her:

1995 F350 Dually, 160k miles



SRW Conversion and $100 bed from a '87 F150



Primered



Painted and new headlights (3" body lift, Ugh, glad I got rid of that!)



No body lift and 4" factory blocks in back



4x4 Conversion (Dana 60 and 3" RSK)

Evan, the only things you haven't done to that truck would be to convert it from a gasser to a PSD, and an E4OD to a ZF5! Looks great man.

Thanks everyone. Hopefully after the trans/tcase swap is done I can focus on making it nicer inside and go-fast mods...

I wouldn't call it seamless, but thank you!

Yeah, I think I've done enough major modifications to it to last me a while... No plans for a ZF5 or engine swap! lol

Thanks. I'm actually going with a all-chrome grill on it soon.

I'm partial to the chrome grill as well. I keep my old flat grey one around with a winter front on it and switch back and forth with the seasons.

Thought about it, but with my bad back and all pushing a clutch in all the time wouldn't agree with me... I do love me a manual trans diesel though!

Will do, I hope to have the new one sometime in January.

Yeah, the painted white grill wasn't doing it for me. I'm getting one of the completely chrome ones, not just chrome outside with grey insides.
