Default 13' XL Reg cab Base build

As it sits right now I've had it for a month, I've already done quite a bit to make it "mine". So far: HD tail lights w/ edge painted black, window tint, spray-in bed liner, pioneer 6x8 speaker replacements, cruise control, sylvania zxe headlight bulbs, removed lower front diffuser, plasti-dipped factory wheels, baked and painted headlights (PITA) tinted third brake light, K&N drop-in filter.

In the near future:
2" leveling kit
wheels and tires 33s or 35s haven't decided yet
pioneer double-din touchscreen
10" sub behind the seat
SCT tuner w/ five star tune
possibly dual exhaust side exit, still up in the air

before






after

Looks great. Bit of a military look going on there.

Getting ready to install a powertrax locker and switch to 4.10 gears. After that then I'm just waiting till I find a wrecked 5.0 to swap.

Looks great, wheels tires and lift set that truck off! I really love the single cab f150's. I think they would make a great prerunner What size engine do you have? Is it 2x4? What size gears? Whats you MPG like?

EDIT: opps just reread the 4.10 and that your looking for a 5.0 my bad...

Fell into the truck quickly, didn't know that the 5.0 was only a 1000 upgrade, I've been kicking myself ever since, but it's alright cause this way I can get a 5.0 and build it , I've been looking at jegs.com. They have a ford racing engine pack 430 hp for 7200 including harness and PCM
