New to the forum and have already had some great help from y'all fixing some minor issues with my beast.
My truck is a 97 F350 SRW with 278,XXX miles and still running strong. I bought it back in June of 2014 and she was bone stock at the time. Took me a while to find the right truck that wasn't already heavily modified. I have dubbed it "The Champagne Train" and think it is very fitting. Here is a list of the mods I have done in the past 4 years:
New drivers side exhaust manifold (due to a slight leak when I bought it)
In-bed diamond plate tool box
Extendable Chevy tow mirrors
6 position tuner chip
Diamond Eye 4" straight pipe with 3" down pipe
6" Skyjacker lift kit with added 2" spacers on the front as well as a shackle flip in the rear for a total of 8" lift all around
17" Eagle Alloy wheels wrapped with Renegade 35"x12" M/T
8" flatbed off of an 1986 F250
All LED lighting on the bed (and soon to be on the headlights and front markers/turn signals)
Flush mounted stainless fuel filler necks
All new steering linkage, ball joints and bushings
10" Rockwood slim subwoofer
Backup camera
Custom wood stakes for the bed
On the to-do list:
Coat the bed with bedliner
Strip all trim and emblems
Repaint the cab
Paint front bumper black
Train horns
Stage 1.5 injectors
Wicked Wheel
New front windshield
Tint windows
Custom center console
Redo interior (thinking high grade faux leather)
Stainless door jamb plates
Here is a before and after. She's still a work in progress but I am beyond happy with the results so far. Would love any feedback about what y'all think would look good. I am a less-is-more kinda guy so simple and clean work for me.
