I like the 2011 badges at the end there. Everything else looks dated to me, and would look out of place on a newer truck imo.

Side note: Is this thing going to be ready by the meet? I'd love to see it in person!

We are doing the swap the first weekend in April.

Are you going to try and get it all done in a weekend?

+1 on the last set of badges.

Thats the plan provided the driveshaft will work. Exhaust will be done Monday. The exhaust shop is only a block away from my shop.

It also depends on if Bob at TorqueMonster comes through with the headers. Hoosier ordered his last week. I ordered mine on the 15th of Feb and still don't have them. Bob says they will go out the beginning of next week. I hope they do.

Bob is good to work with. I did wait for a set for over three months one time, getting too late in the year for me and he had someone needing a rush custom job done on his F-150. Told Bob no hurry till Spring - the guy paid him $2000 for the custom work. Good luck you all! I have a set of the 5.0's around but think I'm going with these instead. Keep em guessing.

I ordered my oil pressure gauge and dual gauge pod today.

 

[hoosier1104]

Well there is only 2 things holding me up right now. My headers have yet to arrive but they should go out at the latest Friday and the possibility of a custom driveshaft. Looks like I going to be running the newer 5.0 decals. Pete said the old school look like they are jap crap.

 

[allnpt0]

Chinese crap.

It goes under the wrench on Saturday. Shibby!

Explorer motor and trans are out. Time for lunch, then pull the motor and trans out of Hoosier's.
