Default My 95 Manual 5.0 4X4 Blue on Blue

Guys I got this truck 6 months ago and am enjoying it a ton.
Seems to be the perfect vehicle for me. I use it to tow my boat and as a daily driver

So far I have done weathertech front and rear mats, full tune up with ford parts, new heavy duty clutch with ford hydraulics and HIDs. Im looking to do a true dual exhaust next with h pipe and flowmasters and no cats. Hoping for that foxbody sound!

Thanks for everyones help on the forum.

Feel free to comment on it and suggest any upgrades you see fit.

Great looking Truck,I really like that Color Blue.Does it have the Exhaust coming out in front on the rear tire? That's the way I'm thinking about running mine,I'd like to do the true duals with Thrush Glasspacks.They sound really good.Oh,I think you need to get a steering Wheel Cover.your's looks like it's seen better days.

Thanks a lot, it's hard to tell how clean it is, the interior looks great! Would leveling it raise the front only? I do need the truck to perform well for towing my boat. Would that affect that? I am thinking lifting it any more would make it catch a lot of wind on the highway and also harder to hook my boat up for towing.
I am interested in some bigger tires, can I do that without lifting?

Thanks a lot for the help! Pictures welcome of what you're suggesting

Yes sir it does with one flowmaster now. I am going to do a true dual exhaust though with the exhaust exiting in the same location on both sides of the car. I will use two new flowmasters, an h pipe and lightning exhaust tips.

The steering wheel is in great shape except for the 12 oclock spot which has a big tear. I want to get one of those steering wheel covers that you stitch on and looks OEM but I don't know where to get it.

Thanks a lot for your help with the synthetic amsoil fluids Chris.
Makes the truck feel smooth and peace of mind that I did good maintenance.

I am working on the truck today again.

BTW does anyone know if the side mirrors I have are an option for my year?
I see them mainly on older F-150s and the ones around 1995 usually have different side mirrors. I do like these the best though and maybe got lucky.
Which ones do you guys like best?

Was it an option in 95? Or did the last owner swap them out?
