Some of the cow still in the headlight...


Us removing stuff at the junkyard...They had a 2wd and 4wd Expedition there and that is where we got everything...






Me and my brother pulling everything back straight...The wreck didn't put holes in the radiator or condenser...They were bent bad but not leaking...Thank god Ford designed the fan to set 7 inches from the radiator...I was driving it around the neighborhood after jumping on the hood and flattening it...









Under my carport/shop prepared for teardown tomorrow...

This is the wheel and tire combo that I will be using...

16x10 Pro Comp Black Steel Streetlocks...
Pro Comp TYPE 152 STREETLOCK BLACK Wheels from National Tire & Wheel @ NTW

315-75-16 General Grabber AT2's...
GENERAL Grabber AT2 LT315 75R16 121Q D8 @ TiresDirect.Net

The wheels and tires are going to run me about 1250.00 after shipping, mounting and balancing, I would of gotten the tire from the same place as the wheel but I'm not paying around 30 dollars more a tire when a tire shop will only charge me 10 dollars a piece to mount and balance them...

 

thats a darn clean truck for ohio

 

looks like u are still to cheap to buy new pants also......

 

2001 and the bottom of the core support was rusted pretty good but that is about every ford since 1980 to now though...

Pretty much...They last me about 3-4 years a pair...

I got the hood, fenders and alot of other stuff pulled off today...Pics will be up later...

This is what I accomplished in 2.5 hours today...

The hood removed...


Passenger fender removed...


Passenger headlight and what was left of the grille removed...


Driverside headlight, grille parts, and fender removed (this fender is still good)...


Everything gone but the bumper...


Everything off...Just have to drill the spot welds and pull the core support out...



Gotta love Ohio winters...Only rust spots on the whole truck...I think every Ford from the north is like this...

 

nice CLS bag. who got hurt?

 

I use it to keep tools in...I got two more in my hooch back in iraq...

 

I used to have this same truck but it was teal colored and at about 225K the engine decided to crap out due to the guy before me putting alumnaseal in the coolant to seal up a blown HG so i replaced it with a police intercepter 4.6L engine and boy would that puppy roll for an f150! i used to love the crap outta that truck!!

 

We've had this truck since 50K miles...Traded even with a 2002 2wd 4.6 automatic truck for this one...We got lucky...

 

Is this truck 5 spd or auto?

 

XL, 4.6, 5 speed, 4x4, manual windows and locks, vinyl floor, A/C, cruise, tilt, 60/40 XLT cloth seat, overhead console with temperature and direction...The perfect work truck...
