Just about done

I've completed the paint/body work and doing the front end update. She's still a working truck but she's much better looking now. I think the '99 - '03 front end made a huge difference.

Thanks guys! Still have to put the stripes back on it and the '4x4 Off Road" decals. Next week it gets a front half-shaft axle and she'll be pretty much road ready. Yeah, the colors look good but a FORD TRUCK in any color looks good!

Yep, the traffic here just gets worse and worse. They're building 500+ houses right behind me. If the DOT would get the new Hwy 16 finished it would help a LOT. I came through Mooresville about 6:00 one day last week and it took me an hour to go from Randy Marion's to the Advance store. That mile became an exercise in temperment and self-control!
