Whats up every one, Picked up my first ford truck. 03 f250 XLT supercab shortbed 7.3 auto.
Got it for what I think is a great deal.
I have been working on diesel motors for a small while(boat mechanic) and decided that since I want to start doing more side work and also want some damn comforts(ac/power mirrors, locks, windows, blah blah blah) for once.(never had anything newer than a 98 that had any of this) and my 2nd gen(94) ram:flush: 1500 reg cab short bed was just getting tired on that 318... its time to treat my self to another project.
I plan on keeping her for atleast 5 years. until I can afford a nice 07 4 door long bed lariat or Harley Davidson edition.. shoot king ranch would be swell too. then that would become my daily.
its has a 241k on it. the body its rough.. cab corner,rockers lower parts of doors and bed... all done for. motor is strong but needs some love.
as for plans,
level kit
maybe a bit bigger of a tire nothing huge don't need it.
plow set up.:badidea:
flat bed/utility body
full banks setup:shrug
$ I know, but over a bit of time shouldn't be that bad)
nice stereo and speaker upgrade. not looking to rattle it apart, just sounds that is crisp and clean and just enough thump,
some other odds and ends. to help me with side work and what ever else.
axillary lighting so forth.
so there you have it.
:toast:
