Ooooo... pretty. :icon_surprised:

I can't wait until mine gets that treatment.

I can't wait to see the finished product!

This really makes me want to get my F250 repainted, but I cringe to think of the price..... :icon_surprised:

I have never owned anything worth washing and taking to a few shows...Im stoked to actually have something worth taking a few pictures of.lol

On a side note...found my paint code (7B) actually has a name.."Shadow Blue"

Its back!

Started assembly at the rear..tailgate hardware, gas flaps, lights...then door panels, then windshield and front clip.

Threw the rollpan on

Took it out for some pictures...but the lighting was awful for a cellphone camera and a dark truck and snow.

Got a new long shifter...Its for some sort of odd ZF5 step van application. No reason for it...I just wanted something else odd.

The roads are thawed out and the salt appeared to be gone, so I drove the truck home to start the suspension teardown...man do I miss driving a V8.lol Feels like a race car after driving the 2.3 for the last 10K miles...lol

What are you talking about? The 2.3 is putting out a ground rumbling 85 bhp! It does 0-60 in what... like 18 seconds? :icon_rofl:

Looking at your pictures, I think this truck needs a nice true dual exhaust, swept side exits behind the rear tires :icon_thumby:

I would like to do a true dual setup but with the old OBS dual tailpipe setup on the same side.

Once it is low, it wont look so odd with a single pipe and the rollpan.

It sits 3" higher now in the rear without the bumper and 500lbs of tools/box.lol

Ya, that does make a difference. Does it sag when you tow?

It sits about level with a loaded trailer (loaded with my 4x4 Ranger or a tractor of similar mass), still has a touch of rake typically.

I plan to add a few leaves in the rear when I do the axle flip.
