My first powerstroke

Picked up a bone stock 02 f-250 a while back. 4x4 crew cab short bed lariat package. 280k and runs like a top.
Had the front seats recovered and center console fixed. Then found new headlights and marker lights from certifit for 120 bucks. Then tossed some wheels and tires on it.

The day I bought it

New lights

Fresh seats

And a good cleaning

Probably the best daily driver I've ever had. If I behave myself it'll hit 19mpg but most of the time it's 16-17

Beautiful truck.

How much did you spend to get the seats recovered? If you don't mind me asking.

I used a guy we go through at the shop I just had the bottoms and the center console foam redone. The seat backs were still ok but using perforated leather and then factory style leather on the sides ran me 250 bucks

and I thought I had owned a ton of OBS trucks. Last count was 7 I think if you include the Bronco

good luck with the F-250. They are very easy to modify and have alot of fun with.
