Thank you fellas for the info.

Hope to have it finished today. Couple of smal items and then the paint. Will be nice to have it done.

Can you explain how the trucks condition? Did you say used, but with new Cab? I was just confused by this...

I think he meant it is a new truck, but it is a 2008 model year, not a 2010. Been sitting on the lot a spell.

Right on Steveguy.
I finished it up today. Well, it is painted and the lights and wiring hung. will do the connecting tomorrow and bolt the tool boxes on.
The hitch turned out pretty well. Would have liked it to be a bit higher, but with the fuel tank right there I wanted to give it a little room. Don't figure to pull that much with it anyway. More than anything it make a great guard back there.

rdbrumfield,
Nice truck and bed you have built, looking forward to your finished picks. I have two Ford 550's and this size truck is very useful indeed.:thumbsup:

finally, here are a couple of pics. I had to stand way back then downsize to get them to download.

Well 609 mi and it needs a new turbo. Idiot light came on and I figured I should get it checked before heading out for Ak.

I sure hope this isn't the start of something I wish I hadn't done.

Maybe it was gunked up a little from sitting so long. I'm sure once you start driving it regularly, it will be fine.

Nice finished product.
