No. I ran out of money. Hey when I said in the begining of this thread that this was a lot of hard work I was really talking about fixing up stuff in my garage and selling it. I had to get rid of a lot of stuff in order come up with that kinda cash.

Gears would be the first thing I would want to do but talking to my father who has a machinist background I guess swapping gears isn't all that easy and I guess there are few people who can do it correctly. Shimming and such to properly balance the gears so they actually last. I need to research more.

But your right. 37 inch tires and stock gears does weird things to the trans (shifts alot more) and fuel mileage.

I guess "finished" really isn't finished

Hey Drvr - Truck is killer looking ! i hadn't been on the site lately and was glad to see it. I had ordered motoMet's but found none stocked so opted for xd's. Nice to see 'em on our color.

That is my fav. color combo that Ford has for the 150's. With that rize lift and those black wheels I think your truck is one of the best looking around.

Holy smoke! This thread is back from the dead! Hey Doc quit copying me Those are 37"x 13.5" Toyo Open Country M/T which are super sweet on and off the road. Quiet and vibration free. 20" Moto Metal 951 I believe.

Thanks guys for your compliments and for waking up this thread!
