I will call you when I get a chance & the parts I got at silverstatefordparts.com but only got the fenders and hood from there. I'm just now starting the project I got the old front end off and got the new fenders and front bumper on. The process will be easy I know it but not super easy.
well see the thing is im not leaving it as a "f250" but as a "f350" what i mean is im going to make a dually. as fenders i'll be using the big boy fenders by street scene so the body line isnt an issue....i hope ???
Oh, okay, ya I'm pretty sure that'll line up, I don't know too much about those DRW fenders, do they have the same size wheel accomodation as stock 2012 DRW??
Honestly I have no idea the only thing I'm using 2012 is the front end which is the fenders hood bumper and lights, brackets will all be custom made of course since they don't make 2000 to 2012 conversion brackets lol
Having engine problems? And ok well when you are ready ill help ya out but posting every picture of every custom bracket I made to make it fit perfect.
It's an "eBay china" one...I didn't want to use an expensive one and then break it trying to make it fit. & honestly I don't plan on spending stupid money for a grille
Haha basically.... But wow this conversion was actually harder than I expected but its do-able. You can use your stock cowl plastics that go underneath the wipers for the 2012 front.. Along with the hood latch just mod a bracket for it to extend a little
The top trim cap on those 08-13 non-step tailgates suck. Its a bad design. As soon as you slide something out of your bed with the gate down it gets caught on that trim piece and it pops off. I pop-rivited mine on the backside of the tailgate and didn't have a problem with coming off after that.I since then sold that tailgate and replaced it with the step one. Its a much better design.
I highly recommend just getting the tailgate with the step.
Hey hows the progress going on yours? I just got my nose painted to make it match the rest of the 1999.5 paint. It came out good.
