The Hillbilly Stretch-Limo (my 6-door Superduty project)
Some of you may remember my old truck, an 02 F350 CCSB 4x4 powerstroke. It was ugly and mean, almost perfect! But then a drunk driver ran a red light doing 80mph and annihilated it (along with my left arm.)

I'm mostly healed up, I have a kinder, gentler 02 F350, and I'm itching for a new project. So far I have a 6-door cab built from the front of an 06 lariat and the back of an 02 xlt. I traded some guns for this and it's pretty good, not perfect. The door gaps are spot on, but the welds aren't as pretty as I'd like:
I have the frame from an 09 crew cab short bed, and another frame from a 2000 crew cab short bed:
Finally I found the drivetrain donor: The Hiphopopotamus, a 2006 F550 with a 6.0 PSD:
This is going to be a ton of work, but also a ton of fun!

I bought The Hiphopopotamus F550 last Friday for CHEAP because it didn't run. The previous owner suspected the FICM. I used my ELM327 scanner ($10 from Amazon) and Torque for Android to verify low FICM voltage while cranking. I pulled it and resoldered the pins. That solved the low FICM voltage, but it still wouldn't start. I noticed that the HPOP was only building about 250psi while cranking, so I replaced the IPR. Success! It starts and runs!
