Picked up the beast today..it is peppy as all get out with the 4.30s. It definitely rides like an F350 should...and the snow plow springs made it onto the build..hence it sitting just about level. Regardless of the naysayers, I REALLY dig the XL headlights/black grill combo on this darker colored truck.
Congrat's Wicked! Don't listen to the naysayers,there is nothing wrong with a Simple work truck without all that Chrome.

F the naysayers.
Tint the windows, add a set of black fender moldings (I like the conservative stock Ford moldings), and maybe spring for a set of 20" black powdercoated wheels with black centers & chrome hardware.
Yeeeeah..
Good looking machine. A set of rims would really set it off. Tint those windows like of all us gangsta's. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

It was funny when I ordered my truck in Florida with the snow plow package lol, they do look great when they sit level!

Lariat with the chrome package.
I actually really like it too, some black rims and it would look even better, but it doesn't look like the work trucks of old like the chevy w/ts and what not, just kind of looks like a blacked out super duty, which is why black rims would look cool. Post more pictures, because I love regular cabs.
Heh if i would of ordered an xl i would of taken it the same way to get the blacked out bumpers then would of had to change out the headlights to the jeweled ones....thoes headlights are abortions.

Congratulations, wicked! I think you beat me by a day, but at least our waits are over. The naysayers don't get to enjoy it every day like you will, so you know where they can og.
