miles - do you have any mods planned for your truck? there is a lot of stuff out there for mod motors. also, you should come to the NOV. GTG because the pizza was delicious, and we are pretty much the coolest group of dudes to hang out with on the planet, scientifically proven.
Yeah i want to go just not sure if ill be able to make it, and i have a few mods planned. Nothing crazy though, towing mirrors, speakers and thats about it that i can think of

I went looking for this just for you Alden...it took way longer than I wanted.

This is what I want your truck to be!

For those curious of the specs:
2003 Ford F350 XLT
Triton V10 Intake, Programmer, and Exhaust (full build coming SOON)
4R100 Transmission
8" Icon Vehicle Dynamics All Spring Lift
Bilstein Monotubes
44x19.5x16 Boggers
16x14 Marsh Racing Wheels
Detroit Locked Sterling with 5.13 Yukons
Detroit ELocked Dana 60 with 5.13 Yukons
AGR Hydraulic Assist Steering
OUO Diff Steering Mount
Icon Vehicle Dynamics High Steer Knuckle
Underground Rock Sliders
Warn 15k Winch
Homemade Front Bumper

Miles, I have read your specs numerous times, not sure why I didn't remember the 3.73's. I'm sure your truck does alright stock with 3.73's. You definitely need the tow mirrors...then focus on a...supercharger perhaps. Or you could lock the rear end. Maybe jump to 4.10's? The ideas are endless...the money, unfortunately, isn't, haha!

Dear Lord that's aweful! Is it bad that I still want to see pictures of the truck? Just to torture myself.
