Now what you need to do, if you don't already have one, is a nice MIG welder. Nice thing about having a 400M is you can drop a nice 460 right in. LMC trucks has most all of the body panels you will need.

• Horn doesn't work
• Radio doesn't work
• Door Locks doesn't work on both sides
• A/C & Heat doesn't work
• Roof Lights doesn't work
• All the Shocks are Blown Out
• The alternator is new but doesn't charge the battery (Yes I know there isn't one on it)

Here is the list of good

what we do in the aviation world is we take a diode and put it inline with our version of a alternator so you can only charge and not drain voltage via the alt

I to was a GM person. I really liked the look of the F150 redesigned in 04 it is a really sharp looking truck. I really do not buy new vehicles I look for good used vehicles. I bought a 05 F150 Super Crew 4X4 30K on it. I lost the transmission at 55K this was used as a family vehicle did not plow/tow or go off road with truck so buy the extended warranty with a used vehicle. Good Luck
