Default F350 4 door tow rig

Bought this truck off ebay about a month or so ago, finally had some time to work on it today.









I swapped the out High Lift axle for some RC4WD D44s, these are perfect for Ford and Chevy builds. I also ditched the bright red shocks for some turned TLTs. Swapped out the bumpers for my custom Juggsterr ones.



License plate bulbs...yeah...it has them

Should tow my WB trailer real nice



Specs:
High lift chassis
High lift leafs
RC4WD axles
Turned tlt shocks
CAC wheels
Proline tires
Custom 4 door cab with short bed and cowl induction good
Lowslowtj wacker flares
Custom Juggster Road Armor front bumper with fair lead, d rings mounts and LEDs
Meshed grill
Custom Juggster rear bumper with drop hitch and license plate light bulbs (one of one made in delrin with lights)
Toyransaur wheel nuts
RC4WD R2D trans
RC4WD Punisher shafts

Im building it up similar to my Stepdads rig so all black it will stay...I plan to make a headache rack and bed cover like his real truck and he just got a ram air hood for his so if I can find 2 spare hood I am going to attempt it

Never really been that interested in building a F350 but I think this truck has changed my mind.

I have asked a few painters to paint me a body with the monster mash theme but no one was willing to take it on...I know not every monster could fit onto an RC body but no one was interested in even trying to do a few....o well.

Thanks for the feedback everyone

That thing is awsome but you should build an interior for it.

you could paint it blue, and get the monsters printed out on clear vinyl!
