About my F-150 Pickup

I had been working on this truck for the last three years. I started with a mint green gutless wonder and transformed it into what it is today The body has a couple mods From the louvered hood to the ventless cowl I also welded up some of the body seems that were plainly visible. I also welded up the door handels and locks.And now i have keyless entry. It was painted with PPG deltron base and concept clear The Engine Is a 460 bored .030 over with a crane powermax camshaft eldebrock performer intake with a holly hp series 750 cfm carberater The heads are ported with bigger intake valves. This all flowes trough L&L ferderwell exit headers and 3" daul exaust with 40 series flowmasters. The 4 speed transmission and transfer case are new process With new driveshafts and racing u-joints. The truck has a 4" suspension lift and a 2" body lift with 8 lug differential upgrades The frame is base coat clear coat silver wile the front and rear ends are blue. The interior has a power lumbar seat with fold down armrest  and adjustable headrest. I also have carpeted trim panels for the bottom of the doors and kick panels The dash pad is covered in leather. with cloth inlay on door panels and across back of the cab I also have a custom gauge cluster with a electric programable speedometer. And last but not least my stereo jvc head unit with a rockford fostgate amp 2 6x9" pioneer 4 ways with inclosers and infinity 6" 3 way door speakers I needed something louder than the exaust  Oh and i just added a set of L&L ladderbars
