Box is done. Just finished the hardest part.. Carpet! Now I'm waiting on new audio/ video stuff. A few things I wanted are on back order so I'll move on to something else next.

The truck has a junk Sony Explode sound system and some bs Perfomance techniques amps. Its all coming out! The only thing I'm going to leave are the rear tweeters.

I'm doing:

-Flip out screen on dash with DVD player
-Flip down monitor for my friends in the back seat
-4 new 6x9s
-Adding two more tweeters to the a pillars
-all new wiring
-two new amps
- two 8 inch subs

While I'm running the wiring I'll run everything for the compressor, train horns and rear flood lights.

The whimpy mirrors are coming off in exchange for tow mirrors. I can't see shit with these! The new style ones come with amber lights with signal and are heated so I need run the new wires through the doors for all that to work.

After this the truck will be getting all new upholstery, carpet and floor mats. I'm still trying to decide on colors. I'm thinking a charcoal leather and black carpet.

I'm also ordered a billet rear view mirror and billet knobs for the light, ac and 4x4 knobs. I think all this should help rid the truck of its work truck/ boring interior.

Sounds like you are are doing it up right. Just some food for though. With the big lift getting in and out of the bed can be a real hassle. The newer trucks have the man step built into them. The 08 Superduty tailgate with the man step will swap over to the 2000 truck and the lines will line up with the bottom of your tail lights. It looks like it was made for the earlier trucks and just not used. The only thing you will need to change is the driver side mounting point (2 bolts). It just goes right on then. The 08 gate also has an internal spring assist to help lower it softer. And the white is the same color code so you shouldn't have to have anything painted. I found a take off for mine and bought the hinge pin point from the dealer.
