Heres how i bought the truck Feb 07:




I installed the In-Dash TV when I got the truck.


I sprayed the bedliner at work also right after I got the truck


I painted the chrome altezza tails black to match a little better(and think i like them better then gettin some stockers) ya and dont mind the saggin bed form the cracked frame on both sides, THATS BEEN FIXED ALSO


So ya... Since Ive had the truck Its throwing a misfire in the 6cyl which i replaced the COP and that didn't fix, i'm replacing the plugs this spring(hopefully the fix), I also have to replace the oil pan cuz the nut is stuck or cross-threaded in and no oil shop has ever been able to loosen it. A rim decided to break in half when i hit a small pot hole heading home one night the week before i moved back up to Ohio. And since i have been in Ohio I have been hit 3 times(none my fault) rear ended once and backed into in parking lots twice. Oh ya, and back in October the drivers side front bag bracket just removed itself 3/4ths of the way off the frame one day when I luckily had just gotten off the highway.

Heres how she sits now in my dads garage(hasn't seen the road since October 07 and turns over like a charm):






Plus i need to get a new tailgate and a chrome stock bumper.

Also with the interior I rewrapped all the old Zebra stuff with Black Suede, got chrome harley interior door handles, and had a few more interior pieces painted the factory black. and have another buddy do my seats this summer... unless I hit up Katskinz for another set of seat covers like I have in the Splash.

I just ordered the new header panel and have had the new drivers side headlight. the bumper just needs 1 crack on the pass side filled and it all sanded down and its ready for paint.

I bought new 20s off a buddy(already test fit em and they r dual lug pattern):


Also got a new Eclipse in dash touch screen tv:


The Truck is going to Kris Dye Fabrication for the new brackets that will be a lot strong and setup for more lift in the front and the wheels are going on. While the truck is at Kris's for the suspension and wheels the header panel and bumper are going to my buddy Ant who went to Wyotech to get painted factory black. And hopefully by the end of May the whole truck is going to Ants for the full new paint job with white pearl flames ontop of the black base for a gunmetal/ghosted look.

And the missfire and oil pan issues will be dealt with in the meantime as well.

thats nice man about how much money would it take to bag a stock 98 f150, but without cutting the bed for the c notch. I'm not really looking to lay frame but lowwer with the control of the bags would be great. Any help would be great.

Also are you ganna sell that flip out screen when you put the new one in? If so i would be really interested.
