You should be very proud of yourself, Brother! One of the best builds I have ever seen! Lot of blood, sweat, and tears man! Incredible job! Looks better than a Raptor, and a lot more functional. Can't believe this is an 05! Very enjoyable build read

Just wanted to say I just finished reading your whole build thread. And wow awesome Awesome truck. Love the color and the stance. And the seats are just cool. Hope you get to take some time now and enjoy it. Nice work.

Thanks every one! It has been a long couple of years and this build has really helped me pass the time while I have been over seas. My friend Adrian sent me some photos of a truck that has my front clip. This guys truck looks so good with 39's and 2" wider. I am really thinking hard about 39's now

Yep the 39's look badass. I was just reading his ad and laughing to myself on his price. It's a salvage title truck worth maybe 8k and he says it has 20k invested but he's asking 40k for it? Lol

patclarke

I haven't seen the add but man if some one bought that for 40K I might sell mine for $50k lol. I was talking to my friend the other day and he said something along the lines of "but your truck is worth $60k". I was like wo wo wo WO! I have about that much invested but that's not what my truck is worth. At the end of the day its a 2005 F150 with 140k miles on it. I would be lucky to get $15k for it. Cars are not generally a great investment. You will almost never get out of them what you put into them. My truck will be my kids first car when I have them and when they get old enough lol. Some people just dont have real world expectations. But if he ****ing sales that thing some one let me know! I would probably pay off my house like I should have done before I started this build

On a side note big custom trucks are not a good way to get girls. So many times A girl will be like O its a cool blue. Like thats all they see different. But if I was into dudes custom truck is the way to go lol. Guys stop and stare all day. Girls could care less. The things we learn as we grow up...

Dang, sweet ride. Just read all 49 pages, Phew... I wish I had that kind of funds
It was really cool to read from concept to completion. The only thing I'd change is the rims to some with less back spacing like those Walker Evans in the red truck to push the tires out some more and go with at least 37" tires.

Hey where did you get those hood vents at? I'm in the middle of doing a conversion but trying not to pay the 194 each that ford is asking.

patclarke

Man I just tried to find them and cant... I know I got them off ebay and they look just like this but I know I didn't spend even half that on mine.
