Ok, this is for you F150 guys....
If money wasn't an obstacle, what kind of mods and stuff would you do to your present truck...

FIRST AND FOREMOST!!!

ZF 5-speed transmission swap

After that - 2 more inches of lift (my drop brackets have another set of holes for 2 more inches) and 35" BFG A/Ts

Reunel heavy duty bumpers front and back

1.7 roller rockers

New cam

ported heads

D60 up front and a Sterling 10.25" in the rear.

Hmmm, what else...

Oh yeah. And pay off CARB so they'll allow me to install longtubes

Dana 60 HP front Dana 70 rear
408 stroker motor backed by a ZFHD 5 speed
9" suspension lift & 40x17 GroundHawgs

New paint

WELL i think you brought up a very huge subject for me at least. heres my list

bore out the 4.9 .030 over, build up the bottom end, machine the crank, stroke the motor, TURBO charge it, (probably switch over to a carb setup so it would be easier to tune and dial in), get an aluminum head from inlinesix.com when they make one, get METAL timing gears instead of the fiber ones on it right now, get the headman headers i was going to put on originally but never did due to lack of funds... some other stuff i can't think of at this moment in time for the engine at least.

i too would swap in a ZF 5 speed instead of my m5od...

build up the BW 1345 so it has stronger gears and internals

put a dana 60 in front and a sterling 10.25 in the rear(no im not copying you chris...lol) there would also be a lift kit installed some where in there.

do a frame of (resto) and sandblast the frame and powder coat it. then fix any spot of rust and dents that are on the truck. sand down the body and prime and paint it old ford blue(i WOULD have chosen grabber green but i think that would be WAY to much grabber green for a set of eyes to handle

cross brace the frame and probably make it fully boxed while im sandblasting it as well.

get a much better truck toolbox for it AND install a back rack with some daylighters on top of that.

get a leather bench seat for it WITH cup holders built into it....

take out the carpet and rhinoline the floor. ANd rhino line the bottom of the body and the doors as well.

make a custom tubed front bumper and possibly a custom rear bumper.

get a 2"cowl induction hood for it.

put a moon roof on it!!! just the glass non moveable though. well maybe make it tilt up for a vent.

thats as much as i can think of right now

Lets see... I love the truck, but I might get...

A new home for it...


And a personal Mechanic!




Oh and new Big Brother....

hahaha nice additions!

new bumpers
lightning air dam w/ lights
cam
1.7 rockers

Let's see, you asked for it..

Body off - sandblast, box and powdercoat the entire frame. All brand new parts throughout, custom truck-arm rear suspension - custom installed mustang II style front suspension (coilovers, tubular a-arms etc. etc.). Big fat swaybars (lowered to best handling position ).

Roll cage, all new fuel system - fuel cell, full AN lines, fuel pump to handle all I can ask of it. Oh a nice fabbed stainless bed fill in (to sit flush with the sides of the bed, tonneau type thing). Keep the original dash, with full autometer gauges.. Corbeau seats with 4-point harness', Full alpine stereo system. A ZF trans of course.

Built to the tits 427 all forged, dry sump, twin turbo.

17" Fikses, some massive slicks.. on all corners .

All new panels, fresh paint, shaved drip rails, remove all emblems but the F150's on the side (the way it is already - except fill holes ) I'm sure there's more I'm leaving out.

Ed; Can't forget some massive brembo 6 piston and 4 piston calipers respectively.. oh and a built 9".

Ok so I am already doin everything you can to the motor, trans and shafts. Oh maybe a charger!

So I would have to say a new paint job, bigger lift, Line-X bedliner, and such!

It's the "AND SUCH" that scares us all, Doc!

Well you ALWAYS have to leave it open for a possible "Blown" 6.0 to go in there! LOL

Todd's got one you might score...

No kiddin maybe really cheap!

How IS your truck coming, anyway???

As soon as taxes get back she should be on the road. had to wait for the final push of money! Everthing is ready its just a matter of picking everything up now.

Automatic levelling airbags under my rear leafs and a proper 40 gallong fuel tank.

Gunner

Id drop in a SuperCharged 5.4L Triton for starters.

Fresh re-paint.

God the list could go on but what i really want to do is drop a lightning engine (Gen 2) in my truck with a nice exhaust!
