Same here, but is it Blue or black? If I had a van, that is the front end I would want on it. I like it so much, I would put the same F series version on my F250 if I could find one in chrome. Does anybody know if they even come in chrome?

It's blue. What would you want in chrome?

Chris,

I was asking if that style of front grill with the sealed beam headlights for the 2004 F250 PU Truck came in chrome. The only time I have seen that style of grill is on work trucks, and they were all black. Everything else is chrome on the front of my truck, and I'm about to install a Warn polished stainless Transformer Brush Guard and Winch Mount with a ZEON 12-S Platinum Winch, so the grill needs to be chrome also.

Gotcha. The grille on that van is a standard E series, headlights are from Rigid and we smoked the big amber turn signals.

Hey Chris, can’t wait to unjoint my 1998 7.3 E350. I’ve got the 60 and Sterling. Which 271 t cases work on which engines? Will one from a 5.4 bolt to a 7.3, V10 or are they specific to each engine? Thanks
Jake

Sounds good! You'll need a 31 spline input NV271. They were in the 99-02 F series with auto transmission.

One gets done another gets torn down! This CA based little guy is going to be saweeeet.

Hi Chris, i couldn’t find the blue van above on your web site, do you know how much lift and what size tires it’s running ? I assume it’s your kit.
I will be installing your 6” kit on a 94 with sliding side door, i know about the MG hinge mod (probably doing that so i can use the standard width bushwacker flares) and how smb has wedged the lower part of the inside slider door, ( dont care for that idea ) do you have any other options to get the door to clear the standard bushwacker flares and what is the largest size tire i can run with a MG hinge mod?
I know i need to change the rear bolt pattern to metric to match the front , what year trucks might have the narrowest width metric rear axle so i can get the biggest tire inside the flare ? My goal would be a 35x12.50 tire.
I know it sounds strange to not match the front width but the slider dictates a narrow rear end .
Thanks for your time , have a great weekend !

It's a 6" on 35s leaf swap. Sliding door clearance can be tough, even with the hinge mod and the narrower flares from B/W the door can hit the tire if the van has spacers and a 35" tire.

I would recommend to do a front hub conversion and keep the van 8 on 6.5 with no rear spacers. Modify the hinge, run the narrow flares (BW 22006-11) and you should have full clearance to the door.
