I built this truck for my own personal use. Nothing was overlooked or expense spared. I have receipts for at least 75% of things done. EVERYTHING was done by me other than the trans and transfer case rebuild. There is ZERO miles on ALL the NEW the parts I have installed

Truck was tore down to the rolling chassis. The entire frame, axles and NEW flatbed was sandblasted , primed with POR15 then topcoated with Valspar tractor Black
.
-The cab was also taken apart and sandblasted. The rocker panels were found to be rotten. NEW FORD ones were installed. The underside of the cab as well as the inside floor were painted with POR15. A used set of like new doors and fenders were sourced. They were disassembled and painted inside and out. The original hood was reused. PPG base/clear was used to paint the body Dark Shadow Gray. All panels were painted off the truck then reassembled. Extra sound deadening mat was installed under the factory mat on the firewall and trans tunnel(very quiet in cab). A NEW windshield was also installed

NEW sway bar end links were also installed. NEW Superwinch locking hubs were also installed. NEW Ford shocks were installed.
