After that I did PSD cooling vents in the front bumper, 3'' body lift, a leveling kit, 4'' straight pipe with a 5'' tip, bed liner, traction bars, class 3 hitch and a lot of other stuff to it. Here's some pic's with my dad's tires and wheels and all the mods.

The lund crap is gone and i'll weld up the holes but the cab lights are staying and i'm going to keep the stock red and white paint to. The frame is fine to but the rear end is bent good thing I have a yard of ford stuff lol

Gotta watch this thred...hehe

 

[BIG DAVE]

Dude where you in the truck when that happened?

Yeah I got T-boned and rolled it. It rolled all the way over and landed on it's tires. My hand was hanging out the window though and I broke 9 or 10 bones in my hand But she still starts up and drives down the road lol

You're doing the right thing. You know the truck and it's history. Beats the hell out of starting over. I think the biggest challenge will be swapping out the dash & under dash wiring.

Yeah I'm not looking forward to that but my dash is still perfect and I love the 89 style dash and the wiring is mostly plug and play so it shouldn't be to bad(i hope) I already pulled the dash out of the 96 to so that part is done.

 

[THECACKLER]

Cool, Yeah, best dash since the 70's...
