I just purchased a 2005 F-150 Lariat crew cab 4X4 repairable and this is its rebuild progress thread. a little background, it has 49,321 miles on it, i got it for $5500 out the door, drove it 45 miles to my fathers shop where we will begin the rebuild shortly. the truck was a light roll, roof and box took the biggest damage, no frame damage. it tracks straight as an arrow and rides like a cadilac compaired to my ranger lol. heres a few pics of what im starting with:









and here are a couple cell pics of it back at my dads shop next to my ranger. it actually makes the F-150 look kind of small lol




more to come after i tear into it next week. i have and entire bad with tailgate coming off an 06 already

 

how much is gonna cost to replace the cab, bed, and other body parts that need replacing?

 

Awesome dude. Looks like a good project.

 

Can't wait to see it all fixed up.

 

woah i didnt know i got an f150
lol j/k same sn
looks like a good project and the only reason your ranger is taller is cuz the 150s roof is smashed down a couple inches

 

Dude you did work on that ranger so I'm stocked to see what monster you come up with

 

the bed i found is $1500, needs paint and thats it. it even has a line-x liner in it already lol. we are going to see what we can do with the roof and try to fix it. if we cant fix it itll get skinned or sectioned. not sure on cost yet for that and the other stuff like the grill, tailight, moldings, mirror, rear window and such will be another $1000-1500 for just parts. paint will be another $300 probably. im in no hurry to finish it so i will have plenty of time to look and find the cheapest used or new parts.

 

lol the roof may be as tall, but compair the ground clearance under the two. ha ha

i actually plan on keeping this one stock....for the most part. maybe a nice exhaust and a tuner. the stereo is awsome so ill leave that alone.

 

^ Sounds like a good plan man. Wish I could find me something like that around here.

 

Yeah, it's definitely not because the Ranger is lifted and the F150 is stock height.......

So when's the beater up for sale?

 

Awesome man. Defiantly going to be keeping my eye on this thread.

 

it will be up for sale soon. do you want it? ill make you a deal lol

 

Looks like a fun project, if you're into that sort of thing.

 

Thats a lot of work. You should trade rear bumpers with me.

 

it has potential...

 

lol. as tempting as that is, im going to have to pass on that lol BTW, is your truck the lariat?

 

Nah its the XLT. The wanted 3 grand more for the lariat and it was white which I didn't really want. It'll be one when I'm done though. Theres a Lariat full console on craigslist for 45 bucks I'm going to pick up this week and then just get the bumpers painted and I'm good to go.

 

Targa top F-150?! lol

 

i couldnt believe all the switches and buttons this thing has in it. i tried to adjust the seat and accidently hit a button and the seat started moving all by itself. its got those momory seats in it lol. im not used to all this luxury ha ha. i have a feeling im really going to like this truck!

 

Haha nice! Does it have the heated leather seats in it too? I love the sunroof in mine its soooo nice. Does yours have the EATC in it too?

 

yeah it has the heated leather. what is the EATC?

 

nice find... I can't wait to see the end result

 

Can't wait to see it fixed up man.. should be anice project

 

Like the digital hvac controls. Not like this

 

o, yeah it has the auto climate control. its pretty sweet too
