I have always had a thing for the pre-1997 Ford trucks, in that aspect I am a Ford man now, but I just can't seem to get around the ugly body styles Ford tends to make. I know the body isn't everything and that dependability should be the key factor, but if I'm going to spend money on something and drive it for years to come, I want it to look and run a specific way, and the 9th generation trucks do just that for me. I have only had this truck for a week, but I love the thing, and to be quite honest, I don't think I would sell it if I was offered more than what I paid for it, mainly because I know this thing will be a beast when it is completely restored.

Searched eBay for a rear bumper to no avail, I've been to one junkyard so far as I haven't had too much free time, if anybody could help me search for a rear bumper online I would appreciate it. It would have to be deliverable, or within a reasonable distance from where I live. ( Brooksville, FL )

Look at certifit, I work there and believe we carry them. I think they ship off line but know there is a store in Tallahassee, but not sure how far away that is from you

Oh I don't think my truck is ugly, I love the thing, granted it does need some TLC, it isn't very far from being immaculate. I've got a small list of things I would like to get done on it:

- New Wheels/Tires.
- Replace The Grill.
- Reupholster The Seat.
- Repair Flare Step.
- Clear Up Headlights.

Other than that, she isn't really all that bad.

Camacorn, Do not wet sand your headlights, you will achieve nothing but wasted time. The OEM headlights on these truck do get faded which you can polish out, but have the crystalized plastic housings so they will never be clear. You can polish some of the yellow out, but they will not be clear. You need to purchase some of these:

Nice truck man, and let me know if you have any questions!

I just looked them up, there isn't one in Tallahassee, but even if there was, that's about a 3 hour drive, HOWEVER they DO have one about an hour away, I may go check them out when I get the time if I can't find one at a junk yard or on Craigslist, thank you for referring me

I've done it to several vehicles, I do know that I will never get them 100% clear, however they do come pretty close, it just takes some time, I will upload photos of the end result when I'm complete, and worst case if I don't like the results, I will use the link you provided, thanks

you talked about a small lift I think a level and 32s would look sweet on there, and thank you Brandon and trav for the compliments....oh and another think that looks good on these trucks are smoked tail lights I have some on my truck and they made the back end look 100x better
