Being the kind that likes to do all of his own work, Williams had the truck tore apart in the garage for over a month while he bolted on all new body parts, removed factory moldings, sanded and primed the big Ford. Soon after a rear-end collision on the freeway left the truck in need of some serious body work, a new replacement bed, front and rear bumpers, grille, a headlight and even a new hood had to be found. The new height left just the right amount of room in the fender wells for a set of 325/60R20 Nitto Terra Grappler tires that Williams had mounted on some 20-inch Incubus wheels. He started off with a 4-inch suspension lift from Tuff Country to bring the nose and the attitude of the truck up where it needed to be. The first big round of modifications for the Ford was getting the stance and overall look of the truck just right. After buying the truck back in 2005, Williams knew if the truck was going to do what he wanted it to, some major changes were in the truck's immediate future. While they had enough power to get the job done eventually, the lack of an intercooler system and their somewhat small injectors left Williams looking for more.

The 7.3L Power Stroke is a well-known reliable power plant, but they definitely leave something to be desired in today's light-duty diesel standards. As a certified Union Pipe Welder with pretty strong background in mechanics, Robert Williams of Santaquin, Utah, took it upon himself to make his 1996 Ford F250 just `right' for him. They say if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
