My 2005 XLT 5.4 rollover, it was in even worse condition before I purchased it, the fellow I bought it from already replaced the doors on the passenger side as well as the box, I found a roofskin @ the salvage yard & my buddy who works @ a bodyshop replaced it cheap for cash. Also swapped for a salvage rear sliding window. I also found a set of dirt cheap FX4 rims that I got refinished and the accents painted black. Another friend did some paintless dent repair on the box & front right fender. The drivetrain is solid and runs great, I made a few cosmetic changes with badges & an HBar grille, Dynomax Super Turbo exhaust 2.5 level & 3" rear blocks and one hell of a polish/detail job, this girl was filthy, but has turned out to be a great truck for an even better price, with a little elbow grease
