BODY-
With the exception of the dents on the tailgate, body is straight and rust free with original white paint. There are holes on the bed rails since this was used as a work truck. Added fog lights and aux back up lights in the rear bumper both controlled by a switch. I have installed eye bolts (pictured) on each corner of the bed, they’re nice when you’re trying to tie down loads.
DRIVETRAIN:
ENGINE- Still runs great. Doesn’t leak, smoke, or use any oil between oil changes.
Upgrades include, MSD Blaster coil (working stock coil goes with truck), Taylor Thundervolt spark plug wires, Copper plugs, Accel cap & rotor, K&N style free flowing air filter and I ditched the stock power robbing clutch fan for a factory dual electric fan unit out of 90s Dodge Minivan, it was the only slim enough to fit in the very small space between the pulley and the radiator. Cools very well. Fan is controlled by a relayed controller, works just like a factory unit, turns on with the A/C and defroster. Engine also has an aux oil cooler. Takes 6 quarts of oil total. Has plug for block warmer (pictured).
TRANSMISSION- Has been rebuilt by AAMCO approx. 29,000 miles ago (receipts pictured and go with truck) with a heavy duty torque converter and a shift kit for towing. You can feel it shift into every gear firmly especially 2nd. I have added an aux B&M cooler to it as well. The hottest the transmission temp has gotten according to my Auto Meter Gauge is about 185 degrees, even when towing or in the Summer time with the A/C on.
REAR DIFFERENTIAL- Open 3.55:1 gear ratio with an added B&M cover for extra gear oil capacity, cooling fins and to help strengthen the main caps. Has magnetic drain plug as well. Filled with Lucas gear oil.
EXHAUST- Stock with muffler delete. The dual catalytic converters Ford put on these trucks were already enough of a muffler. Still quiet at idle and while cruising.
WHEELS & TIRES:
Front- Factory 15×6 wheels. 235/75/15 tires at 9/32 tread depth with 2016 DOT dates.
Rears- Wider Wheel Vintiques 15×8 wheels. Taller and wider 265/75/15 tires at 10/32 tread depth with 2015 DOT dates. Has hub caps from earlier model Ford Trucks.
SUSPENSION:
Front-Lowered about 2″ with shorter coils. I installed adjustable camber/castor bushings so the alignment is still adjustable.
Rear- Lowered 2″ via drop hangers and shackles. (Installing those hangers was a JOB!) Has working air shocks in the rear as well.
Truck still rides as smooth as stock.
INTERIOR- Bench seat was cleaned and extracted when I first got the truck and I had a removable and washable seat cover custom made to match it, cost me over a $100. Seat has no tears. All glass tinted with lifetime tint. Has Kenwood CD player with AUX port. Ditched the cheap plastic door handles and window cranks for steel chrome ones from an earlier model F150. I added a dual gauge pod with Trans Temp and RPM gauge. Also has a trailer brake controller. I also added the factory cruise control to the truck, the base models never came with cruise.
HVAC- I have changed just about everything in the factory A/C system. Which includes the accumulator, orifice tube, condenser, and compressor. The A/C blows ICE COLD even on the most hot and humid days it will start freezing you after a few minutes.
Parts I have replaced in the last couple of years not mentioned earlier:
Battery, Distributor, PCV valve, thermostat, radiator, front pads and calipers, and possibly other things I can’t remember at the moment.
