Trick My Truck
Well, since you're all about doing what we say should be done to that truck, here's my suggestion:
I think you should do a straight up trade for an '03 true blue supercab 4.6l with 113k on it.
DO IT!

Got my Ford emblem done, while at work, the wife resprayed it since I missed a spot, and when she did, the can was spitting because it was empty, so instead of asking what to do, she put the overlay on it, so there's a few small spray bumps from it spitting. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow, or should I rip the overlay off, sand the few bumps down and then put another overlay on it?
Ran into some difficulties. I have a chrome surround for the grille itself, I need it removed before I put my new grille on, so I removed it and it is all shipped and what not. So, looks like I gotta get the surround painted and before they paint it, I need all the little clips cut and sanded down. More money to waste, ha.
Since the grille surround is plastic, I can't get it powdercoated, right?
Here are some pictures of where it's chipped bad, I'm going to wait to get it painted since I'm in a money hole right now, due to helping a friend out with money.

Yes! You have to cut them off. Take a dremel to them. Sand them down, and touch them up. Also, probably can't get them powdercoated.
Also, with that grille, get ready for a high pitched whistle at about 45+ mph. It's quite annoying unless you turn up your radio.

A dremel. That is what I need! I'll touch them up when I plan to get it repainted. I took cutters and clipped them off and then took a huge belt sander and let the wife go to town on it.
Edit: It's on!


Flash made it look like there is no grille, and that is the chipped surround you'll see if you look from the top view of it.
