Thank you. Eurotoys is my web name on every forum, just the name of my shop & internet business. I used to be a Ford Senior Master tech, started my own shop towards the end. If you are on FB, you can see what I do at eurotoysltd. Not trying to sell anything here, just sharing my truck and getting ideas for other things to do.


No, just a painted emblem. I will do a back-up camera system once I change the radio.

Well put together. I like those black rocker panels -- have you painted them, or did they come that way?

I'm partial to flaresides as well, again great looking truck.

Looks like the headlights fit pretty good. I've never had good luck with eBay heads/tails fitting good. Do you recall the seller name? Sharp looking truck well put together

Somebody before me put some Rhino lining material on the lower parts. I would rather it be the grey paint, but it looks alright. Just have top get some of the wax out of it.

We also have a 2004 SuperCrew. I have learned from that truck and the many I looked at before this one, to not get a SuperCrew.


-All of the SuperCrews will rust out the cab corners (unless precautions are met, or not in salt). I have seen 2010's with rust coming through.
-All of the Styleside fuel door openings will rust. It comes from the backside structure


IMO, the Extended cabs do not have the same ability for the cab corners to rust out. The Flaresides definitely won't rust (fiberglass), just have to deal with the loose/broken fuel door that are on most.
