The Ford SuperDuty trucks have interchangeable body parts, front ends, bumpers, grilles, lights, and other items like interior parts from 1999 through 2006. I have updated quite a few parts on mine like the FX4 black grille and Harley headlights (with HIDs).

I own an '05 6.0L. Steer clear. Never had any real issues until around 65k miles. Since then, it's been something wrong fairly regularly. Nothing is cheap to fix and now the tranny is shuddering AGAIN. Oh yeah, the fuel mileage is TERRIBLE.
This truck has been stock all it's life, with the exception of CAI and Magnaflow exhaust. It'll be awhile before Ford can sell me another diesel. |

Personally I think some needs to take the F450 chassis (good looking truck) put a 6.7L Cummins in it with the 6 speed Alison,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,That would be a killer combo. |

Saw that shortly after getting my 7.3 F550 and wish I saw it first. I wanted to give him my '06 F350 6.0 as a partial trade but he didn't want that for obvious reasons. He did want my 550 but I never followed up. Truck had around 120k, engine had 20K, and he wanted $32k firm. Sounded like a pretty good deal to me, he said he over $60k into it with the conversion
