Just bought this gem 2 weeks ago and have started some basic upgrades/repairs. It is a 2003 F450 with a V10

-Exhaust manifold gasket and bolts
-Steering linkage
-Brakes
-Drive shaft u-joints
-All axle seals/bearings. bought some Dana 60 Seals-it for the front.
-New suspension. 2"+ lift springs in front stock with block in back
-Boatsiding the rocker panels due to rust
-POR 15 on chassis
-37" Military tires with beadlocks
-New front bumper and winch
-Custom flatbed with attachable camper top. Any ideas/links/pics on this would be HUGELY appreciated. I am thinking of setting up the outside like an overland trailer and only having a bed space inside the camper. Possibly a pop-up top...Still tossing ideas around

I am hoping to make its maidan voyage to VOS this fall

Lots of potential there for sure!

As far as the back goes, take a look at what Chris from U-Joint Offroad did with a 2002 E350.
