gallery

finally got the nerve to attempt to create my gallery, it only took an hour.
check out my truck the sunday b4 delivery when i snuck into the closed dealers gates. i was very anxious after waiting nearly 2 months, i knew the truck was there because i happenned to be driving by the day b 4 and seen it on the flat bed with 2 other ones.
anyway i took delivery on may 10th, and 4600 miles later still can get the smile off my face that i have the awesome vehicle.
tim you were correct i am really enjoying it, even after making my 1st payment.

no, its a stock grille, but painted w/ billet inserts. it really doesnt look stock, especially with the air dam. it all came on the truck new.

Mike Shank at GREAT NORTHERN in grand rapids MI put it together. real nice guy.

alfama351,

Nice truck. Do you have any pictures since you took delivery? I still haven't created a gallery. It doesn't see like I can get both trucks clean at the same time for a nice photo opportunity. The rainy weather we were having before didn't help. Hopefully I can get some good pictures after I get back from a trip on the 4th of July weekend.

Bighoss550,

Nice truck also. Did Great Northern do the truck bed conversion also? Sorry, just saw that your sig shows an Eclipse conversion. Did they shorten the frame or add fairing to the bed? I was looking into a F-550 with a bed conversion, but they (can't remember if it was Centurion or not) wanted about $10,000 to do the conversion and I decided to make due with a F-350 for now. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the Eclipse conversion and how long did it take.

all i know is that it was that way when i bought it sorry.... wish i could tell u more.

if u want the 550 w/ conversion, get the bed and do it urself. all it is, is mounts on the frame, and a piece of fiberglass btween the cab and bed.

this is the best truck i couldve bought!! love the feel of REAL axles and suspension
