[QUOTE="ken6881, post: 1318961, member: 8209"] Been driving a 2002 7.3 extended cab for 4-5 years really love the truck it's only left me stranded once when the trans went out delivering a f350 crew cab dually I had sold. Put a trans in it and went on. Intended to keep the truck forever but we found out about 2 months ago my wife is pregnant with baby number 2 and anyone with an extended cab probably knows 2 car seats really doesn't fit. Knowing we're still open to expanding our family I decided it was time to build a crew cab "dream truck" and the wife wants an 08 or newer vehicle for reliability purposes (I diesel mechanic as a second job and have never had an 02 or older truck in the shop besides mine but I digress) And after doing some buying and selling I came up with this [ATTACH]41096._xfImport[/ATTACH] 2000 f450 with a 7.3 2wd ran and drove but knocked for $1800. I was going to fix it and sell it to keep trading up but have decided if I'm pulling the motor I'm keeping the truck. The cab is rust free on bottom but has just a spot of surface rust on top of the cab where the headache rack rubbed at some point. But since it wasn't an 08 or newer the wife wanted it gone. I convinced her to let me convert the front end and interior to 08 and she bought in to it. I picked up this donor 111k mile 08 f250 6.4 4x4 extended cab for 3600 all the owner knew was motor is broke. Truck has a lot of rust due to living it's life in a rock quarry but fenders hood and dash are in pretty good shape. It has a manual shift transfer case which I wanted Plan is 08 front end , 08 front axle(4:11 gears) and coil springs, 08 steering column and dash, doors, black leather seat covers from leatherseats.com, zf6, manual transfer case, rebuild the Dana 80 rear with 4.11 gears, regular dually bed, south bend clutch, 12v cummins p pump 400 ish hp and if there's room in the budget go to 5-600, bed line under the cab to prevent any future rust, sound deaden the interior, 40,20,40 seats in back, two seats in front with center console, repaint tuxedo black or the new ford dark blue, and maybe a set of dually rims if it fits the budget right now, Deadline to have the truck running driving is June 1. May 16 is the due date. If I don't put a deadline on something I procrastinate it out and never finish it if it's my own project. [/QUOTE]
