Re: What have they done to this truck

I agree, it has the style of the ss bumper but it looks to me like it could of been custom done to fit our style trucks.

Good one.

I figure if they put a small air deflector along the bottom you could go plow snow with it.

Hideous looking either way.

Re: What have they done to this truck

doesnt fit the seems. needs reshaped, every one here can tell. if he wanted it to look good, why not got to 80s style air dam on the bottom of the bumper and lower it, in my opinion, the black air damns are like ground effects at the same time on a chrome bumper. if you look right the truck aint even lowered. it is hideous

Re: What have they done to this truck

Its a modified aftermarket SS bumper for the 88-98 trucks. A buddy was going to do the something, till he realized how ugly it was going to look.

Re: What have they done to this truck

I'm probably the only one thinking this but those look like headlights for the newer model Ford F250/350 Super Duties
