It pains me to have to do this, but life changes over the past several months prompt the sale. 
Here is a link to the build thread which will answer lots of questions up to this point: http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53470
- 2008 F250 XL 6.4 Regular Cab Short Bed
- Shortened by Mackey’s Hot Rods – Huntington Beach, CA
- 30.5 Gallon Short Bed Fuel Tank from 2008 CCSB and modified sending unit
- DJM 3/5 Lowering Kit w/two leaf springs pulled. Calmax Shocks all around.
- Street Scene Roll Pan (primer white). Will come with a new Grant Kustoms steel pan in box.
- 20X8” and Custom 20X9.5” Factory 8 Spoke Wheels
- 275/55/20 and 305/50/20 Toyo Proxes (Less than 500 miles on them)
- No Limit Cold Air Intake
- Straight Piped Exhaust
- Tuned by Eric @ ID (Street Tune). Playing it safe on stock head bolts (475-500whp). Being so light, it is a blast to drive! Will break tires loose from a 25mph roll and pin the speedo real quick.
- Newer batteries, newer ball joints
- Truck has tilt wheel, cruise control, manual locks/windows, MP3/CD Stereo, cold A/C, tinted windows.
- Interior is in pretty good shape but by no means perfect.
- The truck runs and drives good (184,000 miles). I would have the confidence to drive it just about anywhere right now. No odd noises or behavior. Transmission shifts firm and positive. Could be daily driven as-is, no problem.
- Body is straight with only minor dings and scratches. I assume whoever buys it will eventually paint it, as I was planning to. There should be very little body prep needed.
The bad:
- Thermostats failed open so truck doesn't reach operating temp on shorter drives. Will throw a CEL when I’ve taken a few short trips and the code indicates engine isn’t reaching operating temp. CEL will go out once I take a long drive. Just haven’t had time to swap them. Easy fix.
- Previous owner hit something and put a small crack in the oil pan just aft of the drain plug. Leak is minor but want to be upfront. It looks like they tried to JB Weld it but it still seeps. Never have needed to add oil between changes if that gives you any idea on severity of the leak. Nothing that needs to be done right away but should be if the motor comes out for a build or if your more anal than I am about things like that.
- Previous owner hit something near passenger side tow hook. Looks to be just the outer bumper. Brackets all seem good. New bumpers run a few hundred bucks.
Any questions, please PM me. Factory Intake and Exhaust will come with truck.
Asking: $16,500 – I have much more than that invested. Clean CA Title in hand. Can assist in delivery or shipping of the truck.
This is how it sits now. Forgive me, it is filthy:
