That's cool that you're doing that bodystyle F-150. You don't see many of those fixed up. Got any pics?

Hopin to get some up in the next week or so... Still looks pretty stock but I forgot to add that it has a billet grill... also the pipes are pretty nice but hopin to drop the rear 2 inches in the next month or so to make it look a little more custom till I get the money to get a 2/4! I messed up too by trying to do the tint myself.

You dont need another altinator if yours is good... i have a 500 watt amp and 10 inch kicker and my lights do not dim out 6ga wire works good.do you have or did you have ac cause units with ac had a higher output altinator..
