newbie too
Im also a new member saying hi to the group. I am new to this forum but not new as a ford truck fan. Im a mechanic of 20 yrs + with lots of experience. I have just purchased a 2004 F150XL regular cab ( couldnt find an extended cab for a reasonable price and mileage ) and no wonder.
Ever been in a salvage yard in the past 10 years? What do you find the least of...? Thats right! Ford Trucks! And when you do find any they are driven right down to the I-beam suspension.
The plan is to convert it into a dually with either a cab fairing or full bed shell with windows. Jack it up a little, slap on some decent knobby tires and blacked-out 22" wheels.
Engine is a 5.4/330 cu in with a single exhaust (that will change) and a generic grill (that will change as well) but winter's coming here in OK so it will probably be spring before i get started. Any links, pics or ideas for dressing up the new beastie is appreciated.
