2002 F-350 Rebuild/Partial Restore

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

got the rest of the lift on. again big thanks to MattP for all of the work he has put into the truck.

here are some pics.

definitely happy with how the truck turned out. rides ALOT better. ended up having to replace both back rotors, pads, caliper brackets and slide pins as well. pics to follow soon on that issue.

Have a bed for it in the barn. Might just run as is for winter though what's the sense in painting a truck in the middle of the salt season. I'm gonna run your 5" hopefully lol.

so far ive got:
Bed
Fender (picking up today)
Suspension parts
New brakes
front hub assembly
Tires

what i plan on getting:
05 front end swap (if funds allow)
08 style tailgate
re tint my windows
tint windshield
smoked cab lights
05 style mirrors
smooth handles that will get paint matched

and im sure there will be more stuff i think of as time goes. i will also be fully undercoating the truck myself.

 

[swamp_ratt]

get a 08 bumper and mirrors with that 08 tailgate

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

already have the 08 bumper, just gotta hope i can get the dents beat out of it. and yeah ive thought about it but 08 mirrors are twice as much it seems

 

[swamp_ratt]

but WAYYY cooler

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

but WAYYY cooler

yeah thats the damn truth lol. it will all depend on what the money looks like when body work and undercoating is all done.

 

[swamp_ratt]

yeah i hear ya. i want to go back to the 2 arm tow mirrors. i had em originally but have 4 arms now

but WAYYY cooler

Much more functional to, I love the bigger convex on the bottom. If you do much trailer toting, they're definitely worth it.
