Not sure if you would like or hate my truck. 😂 It's a 99 7.3 manual trans case and hubs. Buuuuut has interior of a 11-16 superduty with all the bells and whistles. lol backup cam. Fancy led cluster. Buttons on the steering wheel. Big touch screen radio.
I read your entire build thread (all 25 pages of it) and you definitely put a lot of time and effort into modifying your truck into what you wanted, you should be proud of the results.
The best way I can answer your question is to say that when I got my '99, it had some minor front end damage from a previous owner tapping into something with it. It is an XLT but now it has the front end of a base-model XL as the parts were far easier to come by at a reasonable price (local salvage yard vs. buy a new chrome bumper from LMC or elsewhere) and the base-model work truck look suits the truck far better.
Funny I fall across this thread, was using my truck hauling 6ish yards of 3/4 crushed gravel (2 miles multiple trips) the other day and a lady stopped me and asked a price. She wants it for a horse hauler as her parents have the same truck. I told her I want more than it’s worth. Offered me 20k on the spot.. has me thinking but she said the offer stands.
It’s hard for me to fathom the work I put into it, to sell it and find something newer. It would be awesome to get into something a little newer as my family is growing (baby #2 on the way). I have another f350 (v10) at my disposal so it wouldn’t be replaced with a new truck right away. But after helping a buddy delete and DCR swap his 2017 that 10k bill has me seconding guessing anything new for awhile.
So for now, she will keep getting used!
Dragging a shed I built for our cabin. Hauled it like nothing was there.
