Me too. Not that you could tell by looking at me but I've skipped quite a few meals to make the truck the way it is but it was worth it.

I think my family is scheduling an apt for me with Dr. Drew. I can't figure out a cure for PMS so I'm just embracing it.

Looks great with the bumper and grille. Did the sides stick out a little without the side brackets or did it line up good?

It needs the side brackets I just can't get myself in a mood to fabricate anything. I also have to make Jim(megawatt) a set of traction bars and I haven't finished my own yet

Love what you are doing with your truck.
People must ask you if you got a new truck all the time since you have changed the front end so much.

So I'm hanging out at dunkin last night and a kid that was driving a 06 6 leaker comes over to me and asked if I had any problems with injectors or egr cooler. I told him nope I'm still on stock sticks and I don't have a egr cooler. He looked so puzzled. I then relized he thought my truck was a 6.0 because of the new front end. He swore up and down it wasn't a 7.3 so i let him open the hood he was even more confused. Needless to say I explaind what I did.
here is the updated pic of the full 05 Harley Davidson edition front end

Work truck bed.

Just bought a '05 F250, using it as work truck and was wanting to know if you could tell me the brand name of the utility bed you took off? I really dont want to put the typical ugly box on it.

I'm interested as well...thought that bed would be killer....BTW, i guess there goes that idea as to, if the "diesel" badge is on the door, it makes it a L99???
