Got my truck fixed finally (Stolen in February)

My truck was stolen in February this year and I posted about it in this thread: http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46836&highlight=truck+stolen+night

My insurance company helped me out greatly by avoiding a total loss and salvage buy back situation. Anyways just sharing some pics of it since I got it back together about two months ago now.

I took off the blocks in the front and changed the springs to factory X codes to raise the Icon 4.5" spring hanger kit to approximately 7". Ditched the old 4" + 2" stacked rear block setup and replaced with PMF 6.5" rear blocks with 2.5* taper and traction bar mounts with their matching bars all powder coated black. Redhead steering gearbox. Randy's 4.30 gears. American Force Rebel 8 22X14 with Toyo MT 37X13.50. 8" X 28" tip

I started running out of money on shocks so I bought the cheapest dual stuff. Rough country front stabilizers and rear shocks, skyjacker front shocks. It rides kinda rough but I don't drive it that much so I can live with it for a little while.

I'm really thankful that my dad and brother have an automotive repair shop. My little brother did all of the work for me.

Man, 05 front bumper, and some amps, and I would call it DONE. That's an awesome color, with those wheels as contrast. Maybe pinstripe delete, but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage.

Wow it has certainly come a long way!

It really did turn out nice I like those new wheels 100x better than the old ones. I'm glad to see it living again and not in a scrap yard.

Truck is looking sweet. Great job on it. I'm digging those wheels

Wow, great job bud! That color is gorgeous! I know it takes time and money, but an 05-07 front bumper on that with a color matched cap will finish off the look perfectly. well done man!

Thanks guys. It is a work in progress. I am storing it a friend's house way back in the woods since I am paranoid of having it stolen again therefore I don't get to mess with it much. I do plan on taking the pinstripes off and fixing the dent in the bedside panel and I have a new tailgate but it needs paint. As far as the bumper goes. I like the original bumper over the one with the painted upper but I like the 05-07 grill. The original bumper has more style in my opinion. The 05-07 bumper is too straight and flat with no curves to flow with the grill and headlights. Too bad nobody makes something similar to the 05-07 other than trimming to fit. If I were to change the bumper from stock I would probably do the '12 up conversion to the entire front. I will probably wait until Ford changes the cab design and convert the front to the latest design if I like it.
