this guy's local to me and from what i've seen does very good work. I'm waiting for him to finish the truck he's building to decide if I should go 08 or 06

same here!


I've been following his stuff on facebook to see what happens with it all. Thinking my school bus needs a new look in 2013, or maybe 14 at my going rate lol




Sidebar question though for those who might know. How different is the 11+ front end compared to the 08-10 as far as conversion goes. I'm just hoping maybe these brackets for the 08-10 would work with 11+ sheet metal.

Ill see if I can either get him on here or get pics when it's done

I have been in contact with him as well. As soon as the cowl piece he is making is done, I will be purchasing. Looks to be a good kit. he says the gaps are right on but can be shimmed a little if needed to be perfect.

From what I know the front of the frame rails have to be notched with the 2011+ conversion. I know my buddy Bryan did it with his one of kind SD.

I did the 2012 nose onto my 1999.5 F250 and the top of the frame does need to be cut for the 2011-13 grille and bumper to fit.I showed pics on one of these sites,either here or powerstroke.org,powerstroke nation or dieselstop.com I forget.This conversion should work for 2011-13 fenders but you still have find a way to mount the lower & upper grille brackets to your truck to mount the grille since the 2011-13 arent attached to the hood like the 08-10's. The cowl kit this guy makes should fit both conversions since 08-10 and 11-13 wiper cowls are the same.I know I can use one for my 1999.5 f250 with the newer 2012 nose since I havent updated my cowl yet.

First picture was posted back in october, last one in December. Seems like sort of a hobby build, but some of the other stuff I have seen from him, he looks like he knows what he is doing with metal fab

Good deal, I know I have seen a couple done but not enough pictures or write ups for me to know what I would be getting into before I start, time for some mroe research on my end.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably shoot you a PM sometime down the road to get some more info.

So now the next thing is finding the parts. I have found partstrain.com has the hood and both fenders for 530 shipped. Anyone find better than this, I have searched craigslist but no luck, most people want 150 for just a painted used fender.
