Insane build

Was dreaming of winning 400 million in the lottery and how I would fix my truck if I had unlimited resources. I would never touch the truck again after this. Tell me what you think

Body-off rebuild:

5.0 Coyote with 6 SPD tranny
FX4 Instrument Cluster
Flow-thru Console Shift
FX4 4x4 package
True Duals Flowmaster 40s
Privacy Tint glass
Sliding Back Window
Detroit locker
Mickey Thompson wheels and tires
Leather seats from '04-'08 Lariat
OEM badges that replace 'Triton' with 'Coyote'

Did I miss anything? Lol

Lol. Thanks Frog. I actually went back and retooled my dream to include Magnaflow--does that help things?

It would be easier to buy an '11 FX4 with a 5.0 and put your front clip and bed on it.

Don't forget an aftermarket Raptor body kit!
and then with the other $399,970,000...... I'd list you're coyote 5.0 on ebay and buy a Bugatti Veyron and swap the motor and drive train in to the F150.

Good God, can you imagine a Veyron setup in an F-150? Talk about overkill....

But sweet, sweet overkill

That would be the best of both worlds, the newest frame without the new body. Just can't get into the front end/grille on the new trucks....

Rethought my build, changed a few things. Stuff I left off would be the same

6.2 with a 6 SPD tranny
Heavy Duty Payload Pkg
Harley D. Inst. Cluster
Raptor susp./4x4 Pkg
True Dual Magnaflow
Front bumper '04 with rectangle fogs n tow hks
Harley rims Nitto Grapplers
Rustoleum whole frame


Does this setup sound better?

Both are nice setups but its not about what we like its about what you want in your truck.

If I won the lottery I would put on my 4" lift, XD wheels (black) with 35" Trail Grapplers, Front and Rear Ironcross bumpers, Bushwhacker pocket flares, 4.56 gears, and full new magnaflow or gibson exhaust from headers to pipe all stainless steel.

Might consider swapping in some new front seats but would have to think on that for a bit.

Thanks. This was just for a little bit of fun, no way I'll ever do all of this (though bits and pieces are slowly falling into place) but I thought I would throw them out there to get the WOW factor (or lack thereof) from others.

I would enjoy the second package, no doubt, but honestly I would probably just go for the "5.0" package I first described. "6.2" package might be too much Frankensteining to look proper. I enjoy modding my truck, but only if the mod adds to the truck, and it looks OEM/like it belongs there.

What I said I would do if I win the lottery I will do no matter what but it will just take longer as I do one or two things at a time. I like modding my truck but it doesn't have to look OEM for me it just needs to flow with the rest of the truck and look well done.

I would destroy my truck, get a 250 with a 6bt swap, rolling around on tractor tires.

Pool,

That would be a mean, mean ride. That's what I think

I agree with you--if any of us had the funds to make these lists reality, they would never end. No telling how many changes each of us would make, given time. I wanna see the first F-1DeLorean
