Good Choice

OK, so we're 5 days later and here's what has been done...

--2.5in HBS leveling kit
--HD tail lights
--HD style headlights
--LED 3rd brake light
--cowl panel and bed/tailgate rail caps cleaned & painted (Krylon Fusion)





Next up (and will just about round out the exterior changes) are a Saleen S331 grille, 09 style power mirrors, and remove the pinstripes (and maybe the window sticker as well). After that, I'm on to drivetrain (4.56 gears) and finishing the slight suspension mods (new wheels and 35in tires).

Looks great man!

Cajun Mike

Thanks! The real fun begins when I build my replacement engine, for when the original is "worn out."

Ok so...I'm on the road now to go see my son in Florida, but I installed my new Saleen grille before taking off! Still to do: power mirrors, remove pinstripes, get new gears installed, retint windows darker, get the BMF wheels and new tires, then work on interior/creature comforts, then I will start on the new engine.

Ok, enough talk, here is the eye candy!

I love that grill, the truck is really starting to come together...

Cajun Mike

Thanks!

Kind of funny, finally made it to Daytona & a guy in a blue Raptor stopped to check out MY truck! LOL

Cajun Mike

Forgot to add this little tidbit to the updates...

what size are those? 4.10s?

Cajun Mike

Yep, I got a screaming deal on them, so I went with them instead of 4.56s. Both sets of gears & install kit were $290.

My truck came from the factory with 3.55s & a Traction Lok in the rear.
