That is one hell of a tow boss! 6 speed, 7.3, F-550 with a huge fuel tank, can't get much better than that. Nice touch. I'd like to shake Tom's hand.

They are a "nerf bar" by Putco. Big Boss or something like that. I liked the way the flared out with the rear fender. and they are strong enough to stand on. Kris the fuel capacity is 50 gal mid tank, 40 gal aft tank. lots of range just painfull when its time fillup. thanks for the comments Barney

Very nice Barney. Do the National seats mount up to stock brackets, or did you have to fab them?

VERY nice truck!! It's funny you mentioned the headlights in the shot of the front end. I was going to say a nice set of 02/03 lights would dress it up nicely!!
