saw this at a show
Saw this at Back to the 50's this weekend, it was at a vendor booth. Thought the tail lights were pretty neat. The whole truck is cool, but it needs to be lowered a little, and the front wheel/tire package is too wide IMO.
Just sharing what I saw.

Re: saw this at a show
No, I only have those three shots. The engine bay was clean, but nothing real special...so I didn't snap any pics of it.
If I was the company that did the work on this truck, I would have smoothed the back of the cab...where the recess' are...to me, they just stand out on stepsides like a sore thumb.

Re: saw this at a show
I think it looks pretty sweet. I agree it needs to go a little lower but other then that its a bad ride. I kinda like the tail lights as well!

Re: saw this at a show
Oh, to heck with that, everybody and their mom has a lowered truck already! I liked it a lot more like it is originally, it looks mean and racey then, now y'all turned it into just another lowered truck. To each their own I guess, but I'd rather keep this one as is and lower a 1-ton crew-cab dually with big-rig wheels instead

Re: saw this at a show
Lowering a truck may look cool but it really takes away your capability to haul or tow, which is what trucks were meant for in the first place.
