Default Finally got my F150

Hey, names Darrien. I've owned more cars than years I've been alive (I'm in tummy twenties) and have always liked the look of the 9th gen F150s, just look like what I think a truck is. I've had many Chevys including a 6.5 diesel and they're great trucks but I'm more of a Ford person. Got the truck for 1800 with 317 on the odo but p.o. maintained it very well and it runs like a top. First plans aside from making sure it's good mechanically are exhaust (already done with flowmaster duals from the heads), leveling it out (don't care for front sag too much although It has new springs, can't afford a lift right now and don't care for a Body Lift), changing out the headlights and tails for some blackouts, installing a light bar and reverse light, finding custom bumpers, and really want to fab a custom tailgate that swings out (my tailgate hatch doesn't open so trying to do this sooner than later).

Yea I do but like I said, been wanting one for a minute and finally got one. Wanted a 7.3 diesel but they're pretty expensive down here in that body style. One day....

Lots of things planned by as far as performance I want to change out the rear gearing for sure, maybe a performance cam, not sure if it had the mustang HO head but it if doesn’t then swap that in, and honestly been thinking about forced induction.... either super or turbo. Saw a 96 c1500 with a mean turbo whistle and got a little envy. Exhaust is already upgraded from the downpipe back, next would be headers.

Definitely will as soon as I get to it. Don’t have any on this new phone yet. The front is sitting a little low so planning on swapping in 250 springs this week or NLT next week.
