I have been lurking around on here for some time, enjoying the vehicle builds and adventure photos.
So I finally decided to post a thread on my truck and everything I have done to it thus far.
I know there are a few people on here that are into 1ton trail trucks.
The goal of my build is to keep the truck so that it can still tow a decent payload but also venture off on moderate trails for camping and hunting.
I have a 2001 F350 4x4 regular cab
It has the 7.3l Powerstroke and a ZF 6 speed manual transmission/ NV271 transfer case stock 3.73 gears with ford limited slip
115,000 original miles
started out as an all stock work truck that i bought from my uncle

This is a slow project but its been a fun build so far!

appreciate the comments
regular cab is nice on tight back roads, sometimes i wish i had more cab space but the camper shell helps with that.
the 7.3l has been good to me so far!

Nice. Where did you get the badges ?
I have most of the same mods with the exception of the boost controler and the ww2. Was the boost controler a huge improvement ?

After I added the ww2 and boost controller I build boost quicker and hold it, nice steady boost pressure. i was losing inlet pressure with the old canister design at around 10 psi. I have the turbomaster set at about 20 psi and it holds boost perfectly until the desired set point of 20psi.
works as advertised especially with the new boots and international harvester bellowed up pipes. its a little overpriced but it was worth the money, honestly it would be pretty easy to fab one up if you enjoy that sort of thing. I wish i had one as a template and I would have made my own!

billetbadges.com the wait for them was over three months!! he does great work but is incredibly slow, and you pay in full before he starts designing your order.

I dont like Fords, But I like yours, it looks great and some really good upgrades you got going, great work!!

Fellow former lurker here and oh boy do I have some questions about modifications you've done that I am very interested to do!

Dual KING steering stabilizers
2010-11-10_16-45-59_909.jpg

Which stabilizer bracket is this? I've been trying to find a higher clearance option than stock (I've destroyed two stabilizers and stock mount) without much luck on the internet.

2010 platinum edition leather seat conversion

I too have a no-frills Super Duty with cloth seats. While the truck had handled 240,000 miles with aplomb, the seats aren't fairing so well. Did you source the seats at a junkyard? How much can someone expect to pay for such seats?

Thanks,

Lynn
