Rusty ford junk.

Looks good!

I remember wrestling my 4.5” springs under my 6leaker by myself! Lots of PBR and curse words!

Did you have to cut the fiberglass headlight panel or did the aftermarket lights fit right in? I got oe ford 05 lights and had to modify the panel

Yep. Took a hole saw and made the hole bigger for the turn signal plug. It's just fiberglass, and weren't any wires behind it.

I'm calling it close enough. Dropped the box back on, connected all the bullshit, threw the new tires on it.
I'm goin to silvercryst.

So, yesterday I figured I would swap out the bulbs in the fog lights. Turns out it's easier to just pull the bumper to get at them. The bulb bases are actually held in with 3 screws, vs a standard twist in style.
Guess ford had a bulb fall out once. Holy overkill. Seemed I had a 3m headlight restoration kit buried in a cabinet somewhere, so I dug that out and went to work on the first fog light lens.

Came out pretty decent right? Well, that little metal piece is rattling around in the other fog light. 2 new replacements should show up next week... (insert head banging into wall emoji here)

I popped in the led turn signal bulbs, and wired up the lights in the grille. If given the option when buying the grille, I would have left the lights out, but they came installed, so....

Got the front buttoned up, and then installed the spacer blocks for the rear axle.

Also took some scotch brite to the front bumper and gave it a satin finish. I dig it.

Truck sits level now, and the ride is substantially improved. Really happy with the new springs and shocks.

Project came together, crafty work..
