So I bought my truck two years ago this July. It's a 97 F250 CCSB. I am the fourth owner. I bought it with 272k miles on it. It had the rims you see, 6637 air filter, 3.5" Down pipe, 5" Diamond Eye exhaust and a TS 6 position with PHP tunes.

I have done very little to it in since I've owned it, vacuum pump and rear brakes.

Now it had damage to the passenger side doors and rocker when I bought it. But it came with rust FREE OEM doors for both pass. sides and driver rear. Well I just paid the truck off awhile back so, I bought a rolling 2006 F250 chassis with rims for $750 two months ago. I also bought some chevy tow mirrors, LED taillights and 2 gallons of Chrysler Dark Slate Gray Metallic paint.

I am going to start on the axle swap next month after my sons birthday and after I get a couple projects done around the house and then late summer it will get paint.

Here's some pics.

The day I brought her home.

She has hauled an array of things.

The most fun was hauling my buddies cummins to the tranny man.

Topper I picked up this fall for 75 bucks, Works out great for winter and the wife and I slept back there when we went to the Badlands in Indiana in March for Winterfest.

I like them alot better also. The only thing that sucks is the chrome has seen better days. There is a semi local guy that does powder coating and he has this gunmetal chrome stuff that I may have done.

Got the 315's on tonight. Only had to trim the bumper a bit.

I definitely need to get a sway bar on it though because it will rub if it flexes to much
