Project 97 F-150 Superduty
Well as most of you know i have been posting some ideas about my truck in the 97-03 section. First off i would like to show off my truck as it currently sits. It is a 1997 F-250 Light Duty XLT with the 5.4L engine and 4x4. It came from the factory with ESOF, load-leveling air ride suspension, and captians chairs with a center console. I am slowly going to convert it to what would be an F-150 Superduty if ford had decided to go that route instead of an F-250 Light Duty.
So far i have tracked down a front axle off an Expedition with AWD, i just need to get it from the u-pull-it so i can install an ARB locker. I also tracked down a 2002 Navigator DOHC 5.4L engine at the same u-pull-it, i am still trying to figure out my budget to see if i can pick it up. I am still up in the air about the side molding and removing the tool box and purchasing a black box from Highway Products that sits in the bed instead of over the sides. I also am planning on a Softopper.

A question i have for everyone is, does my truck look level? The reason i ask is because my torsion keys are not cranked at all and i think my rear springs are doing out the door. They sag with almost any load i put in the bed.
