holy crap dude you have been busy.my old truck is in pieces lol.cant wait to see it finished
I can't wait to have it done either! decided against heads/cams right now... just can't swing it and would rather get the mustang up and running then blow the money in this truck right now... someday, when I'm out of school
i hear you on that.gonna do a few things to mine and put it on hold and buy me a 87-88 tbird to drag with.dont want to beat the truck up down there anymore
I wonder how much you will spend when it's all said and done?
Sometimes I wish I wouldn't have wrecked my 4.2L F-150. I had planned on doing the same thing you were. I spent $6K on mine before even getting an engine!
Before:
After:
Wrecked and gone:
Oh well...I guess I wouldn't have the L I have now had I not wrecked the F-150!

I picked up the truck for $5200 and bought back my old truck for $3500 so roughly 8700 into it now not including cost for a new rim/black powdercoating, and picked up a L front grill surround and bumper for $150, and sold the old 4.6 for $500...
hope to find all the remaining ground effects off a wrecked truck but haven't had much luck yet.
In the end with the way the economy has unfolded i could probably have picked up an L for same cost but insurance is a b**** for me cuz i'm on high risk with all my tickets and this build ought to be an "exciting adventure"

Keep searching on E-bay. That is where I got mine off of. I am pretty sure the name of the business is LKQ. They always had some of the stuff I was looking for. Ex. - ground effects, center console, overhead console. For a while it seemed like the L parts were flowing for me. You could always buy from the dealer...worst case scenario I guess. Oh yeah, I used a ford dealer online @ "Ford Parts" At Bowen Scarff - Formally 1stfordparts.com . they seemed to beat my local dealers prices.

i'm not sure if resizing the pics set them sideways, but they are straight on my computer i'm using.
Frame goes out next week to powdercoating along with suspension parts. As soon as that gets out of my garage i'm going to start pulling the engine out of the L!! cant wait
