Default poss. crew cab build opinions!

As some might know I recently purchased a Navigator for cheap as for plans of replacing my wifes expedition that now has over 300k. She wants nothing to do with the Navi and is going to drive the expy till it literally falls apart. Now to the point the navi just sits there and my coworker just had his King Ranch recovered as it was stolen for you guessed it the interior also front clip and odds and ends of engine pieces. He is willing to give it to me if I pay him for the storage fee which was under $400. So should I take on this project? How does everyone feel about the navi front clip on F150's and full navi interior? Im mechanically inclined and have several buddies that work for the dealership and paint/body shops so feel I can take this on.

I'd say do it. It would make it looks pretty cool as a one off project.

I see its hands down all for it. I will be picking the truck up fri nite or this weekend. Ill be sure to post plenty of picks of the tear down and rebuild. How does everyone think of setting the rear end up as 4 link using the navi control arms and installing the air ride all the way around but with copper lines instead of plastic using the factory air compressor in stock form? the truck will never pull anything except maybe a 16 ft boat.

Not a fan of the idea the air ride blows maybe it was just my buddies driving but it seemed like every week he wet back to the dealership for a problem with it

Just switch the body panels and interior and only drop the rear of the truck to level it. Throw on some nice wheels and she'll be good.
