E99 7.3 f350 Build Thread.

Hi. I know I've always enjoyed reading, and looking at build or rebuild threads so I decided to make my own. This is my first one so please be patient. The truck is a E99 f350 single cab with the zf6. I bought it cheep with some front end damage. Since I bought it, I've pulled the welding bed off and sold it. Also I made sure the motor runs good and I've got the front end tore apart to assess the damage.
This is when I got it.

Make sure the little power steering cooler is not hitting the radiator.

Blow out the radiator fins from the rear if you can. Pretty dirty.

AC condensor is surprisingly tidy.

Looks like a good score.

Yeah I think the condensor is still good surprisingly. You can't see it, but the bottom of the radiator is ripped out so I have a new one. Overall though I think I did pretty good.

already got the new mirrors on it, those are nice.
Looks like the fender is already off, is the door OK?
Replace the radiator support, fender, grill and headlights and your probably most of the way to driving it.

Heres my auction truck build (repair) thread....

auction... good deal or not?

Unfortunately the drivers door is tweaked slightly. You could use it probably but I have a door to put on it. The left i beam is bent to so I have to firgure that out. I will probably put a 05+ coil spring4x4 axle under it.

Hey David!

OP- I'm the original owner of my e99 with a ZF-6 so if you have any questions about how they came originally, just send me a PM. I don't hit this forum as much as I used to.
