Yeah originally it shows on the PA instructions that the nuts in the bed like you said with the GM trucks but not welded of course. Mine were not for some reason but i really dont think it matters at all.
Anyways yeah they go from the top to the bottom. Honestly it was not really really hard. It just takes some time and not rushing through it or just trying to get it done. The parts that gave me a hard time was the seats ( ha yeah ) , The plastic piece on the front bumper that the hood release mechanism bolts onto( just kept getting caught on the plastic when i was trying to remove the bumper) , Trying to find good enough blocks to lift the truck haha, Trying to get underneath and then on top of the gas tank to put the extended hose in there , The steering extender thing took about 10 mins to get all the way on but WD40 helped. Otherwise everything went pretty smooth and it will be finished tomorrow. I will take some more pics as well.


Hey wandell any idea where i can get like some of the push pins from? I tried calling ford and didnt have any they said.

 

Looks good so far! so i guess this means your not selling the truck afterall?

 

no im going to be getting a solid axle swap when i am in Iraq or first thing when i get back.

 

when you get your SAS done, how much lift do you plan on? tire size? gears?

 

Lift Size no idea , Tires 46 or 49s , Gears 5.38

 

dont mean to sound like a buzz kill, but im just curious. if your doing the sas swap, skies the limit, why bother with the body lift ?

obviously for more height , but .....

 

Less money into the suspension. If i decide to paint the frame later or something like that it will stand out more who knows. When it comes time well see whats going to happen. Sure someone here can think of something cool as well.

 

theres nothing like doing a project like this yourself plus if and when something breaks when your wheeling you will know how to fix it, good luck with the rest of the install and cant wait to see some pics I`m sure its gonna look good

 

mhockey9090 - Thanks for your service to the country. The truck is going to look great!!!
Thanks to everyone who has served and is serving the country!!!

 

its going to look sweet all done!

and f150 rider-man them tires really changed the look of your truck. im likin it

 

Thank you for the kind words.

 

yo pdabbs911 whats the lift and tire set up do you have ??

 

OK GUYS HERE IT IS THE FINAL:







Im 5'7 so it gives you an idea of how tall it is now.

 

i don't know what looks punier, your 35's or you next to that truck! jk truck looks really good, you going with those 37's you have for the time being?
also whats up with your rear bumper?

 

I know someone did something to it when i was out of town for a bit. All i have to do it just knock it back up. I know it looks like crap but cant do that tonight. I will have someone else put my 37s on for the time being until i get the sas done.

As you can see the bumper is fine its just that one spot that i have to get fixed prob by a body shop or somthing.
