I don't remember if I asked already, but where are you located? If you keep your eyes open on I15 between Davis and SL county, I'm sure you'll see my truck! I've been using every conceivable excuse to drive it:
We need dog food? To the truck!
We need shaving cream? To the truck!
We're goingon a walk to the park 3 blocks away? To the truck!

Another observation: This thing has excessive body roll when cornering, especially when transferring weight on the freeway. I'm going to install an anti-sway bar on the rear axle. My original plan was to use a stock away bar, but they seem a little too dinky for this, so I think I'll use a Hellwig Big Wig. They're much beefier. If that doesn't tame the body roll, I'll instal the front bar fromth the F550, instead of the one I'm using from an F350.


My brother (the who welded the frame) came over last night, so I tossed him the keys and we went for an hour long cruise in the country out by the Great Salt Lake. He's got a CDL and drives heavy duty trucks and semis, but he said hewas WAY more nervous about driving my truck because he knows what went into building it.

I'm actually right up the road in Plain City. I drive to Layton/Clearfield daily for work. If you see a 08 F350 looking very similar to your minus the extra doors and with Idaho plates, it is sure to be me.

Tonight we worked on installing the fender flares and inner fender liners in the rear. I only got the back ones done tonight. I'll have to trim some off the bottom of the front flares, and I need to buy more of the plastic retainer barbs.



(This pic is when I was done installing the flare and almost done installing the inner liner. I still needed to install the plastic barb thingers into the frame. )

Starting to come all together. Looks really nice. I can’t remember, did you put a stock 6.0 in it or was it a built one?

This thing just gets better and better. The all black look definitely works for it. If I were you, I would continue with the black accessories.

Just as a side note, A headache rack would look mean on this truck.

Zipcode? First the FAA needs to establish safe landing zones. You know, a strip long enough to stop in, and depart from. How close are buildings underneath... Are the snacks served in coach seats allowed in all regions... Domestic or international service (customs, dont'cha'know). Too many regulations if you ask me.

Those asking prices are absurd. Almost 20 year old trucks at $120k? What are they smoking?
