I don`t like it,personnally.It definately does nothing for appearance.I wonder how it would have looked to put a slant on the back wall(and tailgate).I just like the pop-up look of a cab roof.Straight up and down is fine for that.But,to stretch a top it becomes more of the overall line in the truck and need to blend,like an El Camino.

I don`t like hackin`on these well designed bodies.But,if I did,I`d try something like that.I`d love to see all the drawings they had from start to finish on this design.
