Yea that's what I was thinking too about the green, I figured I'd either love it or I'd be going back over it with the black haha

I like the truck and tailgate is kinda cool cuz people will look twice at the truck but the "Super duty" part ruins it. Maybe you could fill in those pieces cuz it aint no superduty. Then it would be finished and bad a$$. Nice fab job though.

Having it say super duty is pretty much the whole reason of doing it ha, I think it makes it look awesome! I've been considering doing it too but all the ones I find at pick and pulls in my area are completely trashed.

Sweet. Dont put superduty badges or anything non-F150 on it. Thats like adding harley davidson or Lightning emblems to a supercharged F150. SUPER LAME!

thanks, and yea the superduty in the tailgate is mainly the reason of doing it. we all know its not a superduty but meh. id like to put harley davidson badges on the fenders, i ride harleys and my family has em. dont know where to find them though. also billet badges makes some cool custom ones. i was going to get the newer superduty honeycomb ones made to say F150 on em but he wants 200 for a set.

to five0merc in the long run id like to do dana 60s or a fords sterling axle swap and put a 4bt in it. itll prob just stay what it is now.

Looks good... Kinda looks like the bumper lays in alittle too much, might just be the angle of the camera.

PUT THE HANDLE ON THERE.

tailgate went right on except you need the left side hinge mount from ford
bumper i needed to fab mounts for and i cut a little out of the top to bring it in closer to the bed.
taillights were a bolt in except for trimming some metal inside to make the plug fit. heres some pics

still need to put the handle back in.


I like that look alot also as I did same mod to my 7700 for the same reason. I added the step gate model.
I added some tow mirrors and now am installing the clearance lights.
The comments and looks are awesome.






Keep up the great look
