2002 Ford F-350 Rebuild/Partial Restore

Figured id bring this over here too!

September of last year i spun out on I-475 up by toledo, it was raining and i had bald tires and it came around on me. I ended up going backwards through a median and side swiping a mile marker sign.

this is what the truck looked like when i crashed it.





I found a new bed for the truck.


Bed with both of my tailgates.


So far i have replaced the front drivers side hub assembly, front brake rotor, and i have added a 2.5" add a leaf kit from Zone offroad. i would recommend that company for anything suspension necessary .


Old brake rotor



After the front add a leafs were added.


got the rest of the lift on.

here are some pics.





definitely happy with how the truck turned out. rides ALOT better. ended up having to replace both back rotors, pads, caliper brackets and slide pins as well. pics to follow soon on that issue.

picked up a new front fender for $50

Got the ATZ's


Plasti-Dipped my wheels





Cab Lights installed along with 03 Mirrors off MattP's King ranch

Then came the 05 Front end







Went from this


To this, in the course of 2 days.



Then i found this. :doh:


here is the door i got


this is how you fit a door and a bumper in a short box with stacks


The trans in the truck was toast. Got replaced with an ATS Stage 3 w/ 5 star converter i got off a member of powerstrokearmy.



Old trans out:

ATS up on the jack


Getting it lined up

Supported under its own weight

Got my mirrors painted:


Coat 1 of Primer

Coat 2 of Primer

Base coat 1

Base coat 2

After a coat of clear coat

Matches Pretty good i think



Some semi-recent pictures







I got rid of my glowshift elite 10's in favor of some Autometer Ultra-lites


I had stacks on the truck for over a year and a half, and finally decided it was time for change. With help from a buddy of mine we made our own 5" set up for my truck. It goes from 3.5" to 5" right by the transfer case and goes 5" the rest of the way back and out an 8" tip.





I am hoping to find all new doors for the truck and the other front fender before i paint it. I want to replace every panel besides the hood but if i find one of those i might replace that too LOL. the under body will be getting some type of a coating and i will be doing alot of powdercoating as i work at a powder coating shop :woohoo:.

That and i now have a ford emblem on the front too. Got annoying driving around with no emblem it looked so out of place.

Looks good man

drivers side needs a little work LOL. next year it will be done though i hope. Had some family issues come up where money to keep things going is more important than a truck.

Looks great bud!

Wow, sick work man. Looks good. How hard were the cab lights to put on?

Very nice! Hard work has been paying off. I have done this 05 swap myself to a few trucks a 99 for a buddy 02 and 03. Very nice.
