Sweet looking truck. Not too sure about the tire width. A little too much in my opition but looks great. I also agree with needing the 08 mirrors. It could also use the 7.3 diesel engine.

Why would a V10 be more fun to drive then a diesel?

I'm a strong promoter of 08 front end on all 99-07 F series and Ex. I like the looks and also for the reasons that I can't afford the mod myself!

Well guys, I sent the seller a question for more details and he was very vague....the cut and paste is below. after his responce I felt like wrighting back and saying No Sh**! We are back to square one as to how to acomplish it.....



<table class="MsoNormalTable" style="width: 100%;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="100%"> <tbody><tr style=""> <td style="padding: 1pt;"> Dear xhunter007,

The lift brand is Donahue front part and custom welded rear with airbags in between the springs. The Sound; Eclipse head unit with navigation,dvd and cd combo, JL amps with extra battery, 12" Kikers, and 6x9's trough out.
The front end swap involved some cutting, drilling, welding and some mods to the parts before installing.<o></o>

As you said, no ****. He's preaching to the choir. Tell me something I don't know and thanks for pointing out the obvious.

Since the seller is being less than nice, I guess we can act that way too...

1. The ******* & ********* are totally classless.

2. In the first picture, the alignment of the front fender and door is off.

3. The size of the rear mud flats absolutely distracts from what I feel is a real
nice part of the rig... the 08 rear bumper.

If I were selling something like that on ebay, I would surely (and don't call me Shirley) have something prepared to boast about how I put the thing together.

But this dude must have no pride in his work.

"The greatest source of energy, is pride in what you are doing."

Sad... really sad.

I meant to post what I asked him...........here is my exact question:

I like the truck you have for sale...very unique. can you tell me more about what is installed on the truck like the brand of lift, stereo equipment and how did you accomplish the front end swap...that looks complicated--I know it is not a direct bolt on swap. thanks, Hunter

I know that it's been discussed many times before, but I just can't get used to the looks of the '08 front end. I just can't imagine why anyone would want to spend good money to remove the nicely styled earlier Super Duty front clip to put such a monstrosity on his or her truck. I know that there's probably quite a few folks who would disagree, but when it comes to trucks, beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I know that some folks want to make cosmetic changes to keep their vehicle up to date in appearance, but to make one look like an '08 just doesn't make sense to me.

Just one cheapskate's useless opinion . . . . . .
