    picked this 2010 Sport Trac up for Effie and had a few changes made.
    she has always liked the Sport Trac from the first time she saw one.
    a Lady was trading this one in on a new F150 and asked me if I would give her the trade in value....well yes, I couldn't think of a better deal than "trade in value".
    She asked me to "do my thing to it" before she drove it.
    here are some before and after pics.
    ...not bad for a three week turn around through Christmas and New Year...
    buff and wax, color change paint on bumpers and fender flares (black to charcoal), replaced pass door glass (dog scratches), new grille, head lights, fog lights, custom stripes and decals, Katzin leather seat upholstery, carpet, window tint, Line-x on step rails and new tires , these Guys were...:smash:

    it had chrome lug nuts and I wanted the black cap style lug nut covers. ford doesn't make that style for the lugs on a sport Trac... soooooo. I got 20 12mm lug nuts, drilled them out and changed the thread to 1/2"x20...:thumbs2:

    Effie never saw the truck until it was finished, she got it yesterday....I Love Her Berry, Berry much!!!

    I knew that you have just started and am sure when you put some of your magical touches to it it will be totally cool, I like all the mods you did to your truck.
