So I've been driving this truck for a week now and its working pretty good. There's still an exhaust leak but I'm hoping that's just a donut gasket and not a manifold... The ride is a bit squeaky so I'm thinking I need shocks.

I checked for fog light wiring and everything's in place. Now, seeing as how the tow hooks/no fog lights valance is pretty rare I'm thinking of sticking with that look. I did a quick photoshop to see what a set of Super Duty/Ranger lights would look in the middle of the valance and it looks pretty good, I think.



Thoughts?

Picked up some goodies for the truck.



Lightning grille, spare rim (mounted on tire I had), trailer plug+harness, front license plate bracket (to stay legal), and a set of speakers for the front doors. Thanks to raider, Red02FX4, and lftedf150 for the great business!

Nice mix of parts to add a good look to your truck. Also 2008 up superduty fog lights look great on each side of the plate frame. Keep her coming. Looks better than the beginning.

I clicked the link. Man, that thing is insanely rusty. The original bed supports are gone. What do you plan to do about all of the rust?

Either way, nice truck. Congrats.

The rocker panels have been replaced and everything else is a work in progress. There's a guy locally that regularly travels to the southern US and picks up truck boxes. Eventually I'm going to get him to pick me up a minty fresh, rust free bed for it (hopefully same colour).

The grille insert I picked up from a member on here.
