I don't think the pink truck will fit in therePaint booth built, about $35 in materials. Need to make a ventilation system now.
Nope. Haven't thought that far yetI don't think the pink truck will fit in there
I scored a set of iron Dart heads with rockers this weekend for $400. With those and the GT-40 intake, it should make enough power to pass people on the freeway finally. Just need some headers now and we wil be in business! The swap is going to have to wait until the fox is up and running so I have a plan B in case I break a bolt off in the block somewhere or some other unknown catastrophe takes place.
Also, I finished my paint booth. It has a "proper" cardboard door and a ventilation system strong enough to suck the sides and roof of the booth in a good bit.

Lift, wheels, and tires ordered.
Also, probably going to make a bumper. Something like this without the lights or bars:

Got most all of the pieces shot with 2 coats of primer today. Lots of blocking ahead of me, but overall I'm tickled with the results.
My wheels and tires are in, still waiting on the lift. But, I had to do a quick mock up:
Still sanding the body parts, still no end in sight.
Also did a brake job, only to find the passenger caliper is stuck and fried my new rotor today. Greeeeaaaat.

Front is done. Had to go rent a pitman arm puller. It's big, glad I didn't go 6".

I'm a happy camper. Worn out, but very happy.
Where's the "I like the
out of this" button? "It's big, I'm glad I didn't go 6"." -hoopty5.0, I can't help myself bro but I'm pretty sure "that's what she said" lol
I went with bilstein 5100 shocks/struts on my 14 Ram and set the fronts at 2.8" and running 35x12.50-20 on the factory wheels I'm glad I didn't do a traditional lift.

Looks great, but I think you need to work on your parking...
I've always liked this generation of F-series trucks, they look very "tough" (even in pink) without looking bloated. IMO the gen that came after these was almost a little too sleek and soft looking, then the current ones look tough again but are massive.
I think you nailed it. Looks like a truck intended to be used as a truckLooks great, but I think you need to work on your parking...
