asfastasu Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Great idea on making your own instead of forking over a tower of cash for an original f4270 kit! How much did you take out of the hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Off to a great start. I got lucky, have two 4200’s in the stash that I got for cheap a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vettegasser Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm hoping I can find a set of the 4200 hood badges. But I'd say that b like hunting a needle in a hay stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd say that b like hunting a needle in a hay stack I’m concerned that you might be allergic to hay, so PM me your address. They are off a used truck, but they are yours if you want them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Are you going with square or round headlight bezels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vettegasser Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Hadn't really decided on the headlights yet. Really just going back and forth on that kinda leaning towards round Edited January 3, 2022 by Vettegasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) I hope to build a round bezel 4300 some day. The cool thing about a square bezel 4200 is that I don’t think that I have seen anyone do a model of one. Either way it will be cool.

Vettegasser Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Well. Rear suspension is in rear cab mount moved and front clip lands like it should so maybe we've got this headed in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 A worthy project. I’d do the square bezels just to be unique, just my 2 cents. Great start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
