Ford F250 4×4 Upgrade Project

We came across this 2003 Ford F250 4x4 Lariet for 9 grand. It had 304 thousand miles on the last of the 7.3L diesel engines and was in great shape. The engine was spotless and ran perfectly. The transmission was also faultless. The interior was like new and the exterior exhibited only minor distress. It was a fence company's superintendent's truck used to survey job sites. The only problem we noted was a near total lack of steering control and well worn offroad tires three sizes larger than stock.
