Project Primer! NO 56K

lepp1892 · Apr 15, 2009

Well I'm bored so I'll post up some picture of my trucks build!

Well it started off as this!

Then I replaced a couple of body panels and painted it PRIMER..

Next up was the body lift!

Trimmed the fenders to fit 35s and to get rid of some of the rust on the bed and fenders and bedlined the bottom part!

Then I swapped in an explorer welded 8.8 with 5.13s that I got from JohnnyU.
And also put a new set of springs in with chevy drop shackes

Then my friend put my truck into a pole backwards and did this

He bought me a new bed that weekend and since my rear bumper was destroyed I decided it was time for a new bumper and since I had the steel a new front was made at the same time...

I added in a light bar and spare tire carrier sometime in there...

Next up the front fell off!!!

And a 6 inch skyjacker lift fell on!!

The time line on that might be a little bit off. I noticed that i had a destroyed bumper in a couple of those pictures b4 i made the new ones...

Nice lookin truck!

Well I've been bored since I don't have a job so I've been spending sometime working on my truck.

I got new turn signal housings that are chrome but i had to fix one of them with a piece from one of mine so the bottom part of both of them is painted black.

I also painted my frame

And I painted my tailgate and one of the Ford letters fell off that aluminum plate that is on it so I took the rest of them off and I wire wheeled and clear coated it. Gave it a cool looking design.

I also raised up my hitch about 2 inches since after the body lift and having made my bumper up high it was annoying that it hung down so low. I also added 2 lights to so I can actually see in reverse.

Ya. I wanted to put them somewhere that it would be less likely to get ripped off and they are pretty protected by being there.

lepp1892 · Apr 23, 2009

Well I got my lights wired up they help out in reverse a lot. And I ripped out my carpet because my window seals leak and it was starting to smell a bit... lol... It will eventually get bedlined...

I'm going to have to agree. Seems liek the air flow should going the other direction, or ddoes on mine anyway.
