Welcome to Fordville.
Thanks! Didn't really see myself with another Ford, honestly couldn't pass it up though.

It's a possibility that they'll go away soon But they look pretty cool at night?

Thank you! I'm glad I don't drive too far, the fuel economy isn't so great But it's V8, RWD, and Loud, so I'm pretty happy

Thank you! I really didn't picture myself ever paying for a Ford haha! But I'm liking it so far. I planned to get one after college at some point, but things have worked out well with this one so far. Haven't had to haul anything in it yet but man, it will sure be nice to have versus only having the Monte!

Thank you Space, it does kind of look a little like a space ship at night! I definitely get some looks. A lot more than in my Monte it seems. I'm not sure if it's the lights or the loudness that attracts the attention

Today I took the front plate off and the Ford emblem off the grille. I think it looks pretty clean Next is either remove the marker lights or tint them black and tuck the wires more.




I might modify the lights so they have a black housing instead of chrome. Possibly plastidip the grille too, and if it looks good I'll buy a black one and sell this chrome one. I'm personally not a huge fan of chrome though so it's no surprise I'm trying to tone it down lol.

Needs cleaned up again! Plastered the front with bugs the other night driving home

I think tinting the front markers will help dramatically! I like the idea of the plasti dipped grille too..that should look sweet. Maybe black out the other emblems on the side too

Plasti dipped bumper might look cool too...

Wont you get hassled for no front plate?

Beautiful truck man congrats!! I don't mean to be a downer but please tell me you got the 4.6 because the 5.4 v8s after 04 have major cam phasser issues.
