Default well yall wanted to know what it looks like clean so here ya go.

this was what it looked like when I bought. Kinda my old phone crashed and it had the stock pics but this one is exactly what it was but long bed. Cap and all. 4x2, ugly, low and useless for me around the farm.







Then after 4x4 installed and 6 inch lift with 35 thornburgs


Then customized the bumper with a sawzaw haha


Then built a custom bumper


This is it now

what does it take to convert to 4x4? In the old chevies you had to put the transmission hump from a 4x4 truck into a 4x2 cab to have room for everything. Is is the same for these Fords?

Looks like something that would be seen during the apocalypse lol, I like it a lot, did you re gear. I like the smoked headlights with the main pane left stock.

From the looks of it, there's now a body lift and bigger tires on top of the 6" and 35s, or does it just look that way

Thanks guys the front bumper and rear bumper aren't even done yet haha. But there there and 10x stronger then what they were. And when I did the swap I just cut a larger who in the floor but you probably should get the larger hump. I just didn't feel like it haha. But that was becuz I swap it to 5 speed. For the swap you need front axles, front drive shaft, transmission for 4x4, transfer case, rear drive shaft needs to be shorter, put the 4x4 194 bulbs in the cluster, the 4x4 shifter handle and accessories, I didn't do the computer but maybe in a new one you might not sure how obd2 works with that, front suspension would be smart (the front dif. Will probably hit the cross member), radius arms for 4x4. I think that's all. Haha I don't remember I just used my old truck that I wrecked and made this one 4x4. It ain't hard if ya know what your doing, did mine in a day. And plus did the 6" lift at the same time.

And ya the last pics are of the 6" suspension and then the body lift then the 42s.

And I'm buying gears here soon I wanted to see how the stock gears ran with 42s and the 5 speed since it seemed like to high of ratio with 35s but I found out it alright but would be better with gears going with 4:56 gears and Detroit lock for the rear
