Well I am finally getting around to putting up a build thread for my truck. Everything on it so far is complete and it is drivable. This is basically just a picture overivew
Start out with a basically stock picture, or as stock as I have.
I only had a few mods in this picture on the exterior. The interior already had some work done. Here's a picture or two of what it looks like.
this picture is right after I put them in so all the wrinkles have stretched out now and the seats are nice and smooth
making the back wall:
I don't have any progress pics of the seats.
I also switched out my dash lights to blue. I just recently switched them out again to white but I don't have any pics yet. Here are the blue pics:
before:
After:
This winter I did a complete conversion to power windows, locks, mirrors, and keyless entry when the heater core went. While I was at it I also put in black carpet, wired in a cargo light, and Rattle Trap throughout the entire cab. Here are a few pics of that.
ok, now for a brief overview of the outside. I will just put up a timeline of pics for this.
Then came the lift. It is lifted with a 3" block, Belltech shackles, and Doestech spindles. Tires are Eagle Alloy 1402 series and tires are 285/70/17 (I think) Hankook Dynapro MT's.
my most recent modification is the 31 spline 8.8 swap with disc brakes, Ford Racing 4.56:1 gears, TA differential girdle, and an auburn e-locker. When I bought the axle it had drum brakes but I yanked a disc brake assembly from one in a yard and put them on. I also had to have new spring perches welded on for the spring over since it was from an explorer and I had to weld on new shock tabs. New alloy brake lines were put on so they will never rust along with new rubber lines. Everything was done myself except for the welding, gear setup, and powder coating. I am currently needing a new parking brake setup since for some reason the explorer line on the driver side is too short. I found a company online that can make me a custom cable based off of a picture but I have yet to send them one it so they can get started. madisonpowersystems.com is the address
not totally sanded but close

and as she sits today.
This was kind of rushed since I am doing it at work on my lunch break which is now over. If you want any info or additional pics just let me know and I will put some up!
