01_ranger_4x4's F-150 build
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

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.

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.

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.
