Nice looking truck. Is that red, or a champagne type red? I want to repaint mine soon, and want to paint the engien the same color. Since I'm rebuilding the block right now, I'm trying to decide to go with either Ford red for the engine or maybe something candy-apple-ish...

I agree, smoked cab lights and maybe some 05' headlights would look great with that red. Great looking truck man

Great looking rig. I agree on the cab lights. I put Recon smoked lenses on mine and it made a world of difference. Your truck is the same color as mine so if you want to see how they'll look check my garage.

The truck is equipped with an alarm I hope. My Dad had that same GPS unit but some meth head broke in and stole it. These trucks are easy to break into.

Very nice truck indeed Smokie, thanks for the pics. Supercab, Bank's products come at a premium price, some say your paying for the name. You can get the same if not better results buying proven lower cost but better items from FTE forum sponsors or word of mouth vendors. I have to admit, before popping in on FTE I was eying Bank's stuff but I couldn't bring myself to paying their prices.

Ditto on what Big Poppa said also banks will only take you so far. If you want to go beyond that you have ditch all their stuff anyways.

From what I can see I should not have to ditch anything except the Ottominder. Can't see anything wrong with a better intercooler 4 in exhaust and a better wastegate? True there are better programers out there but if the thing hauls my fiver without a struggle I will leave it alone for now! That's what it is a tow vehicle! To old for racing anymore!!

Nice truck, but i would'nt ditch the Banks stuff it's good stuff, looks like you have the banks intercooler pipes, so look and see if you have the intercooler also, and the power elbow on the tubine.
