What happened to the emblem that was on the grille? And why didn't you keep the one from your old grille?

I still got the one from my grille, but the ford logo on the 99+ is larger

Is it really? I thought they were the same size and didn't change until 04. Damn that sucks.

Nice job, It's a lot nicer than my beat up truck.

Thanks man. Don't get the wrong idea, it's a 17 year old truck with over 200k. It has quite a lot of flaws, I just don't show them in the pictures lol

Like the flaws under the hood?? Haha sorry I had to go there.

Off to get new used motor. Should be done hopefully next week. I originally paid for a 99 5.4 with 90k, but was told they got a 98 5.4 with 80k they would give me for the same price. So I went with the 98 so I don't have to worry about problems running pi heads vs my non pi heads.

Will be glad to see it back up and running.

That makes two of us. Been sitting in the yard for 3 months. On the "new" motor, I'm getting the, water pump, thermostat, and plugs changed out, so I should be up and running for a while.

Lol while the new motor is out of the truck still I would almost want to replace timing components too just so you know it's all new. And while you're that far into it do head gaskets too.
