ok now this is ugly (imo)

[CG]

why?

[jcueckert13]

because a bunch of people want the look of the older trucks without having to give up the luxurys that come with a new truck. i agree they are ugly but to each his own

[67Fleetsidedream]

Far from ugly. It is FUGLY.

[superfly68]

it just doesn't fit! a rounded front end with a boxy cab.

[69 air cab]

pissing your money away

[724x4a/cchevy]

it just doesn't look good. Back then everyging was smooth and rounded. Those newer trucks are so boxy, kinda "shoebox chevy" looking.

Looks just as bad as slapping the new bed on an old truck...just don't work.

[jamis]

I dont like those kits at all. The only one I like is this one...on an
s-10 frame.

[stepside71]

Oldakool rules and yes that is fugly.Longhorn Man you can say that again!Here's a question to ponder, why is it that pics of those trucks get layouts in magazines?

[1/2_man_1/2_amazing]

The pic jamis posted I liked, but the other one. No thanks, not for me anyways, somthin just don't work with it.

"why is it that pics of those trucks get layouts in magazines?"
Paid advertisement. The "fugly" comment fits perfect.

Jamis, where did you find that one........?

[barn9]

I think they had a good idea, just didn't come through with a very good end product. I kinda like the one Jamis posted, that is a great improvement to an S-10! More info, please?

[highboy_04]

the one that Jamis posted looks like it has newer ford taurus headlights in it.

[krazy_texan]

thats as fugly as putting lexus headlights in a 40 ford

[gonebad2]

Not for me. I have old trucks and a new truck. I like both of them for different reasons. But I think I will keep the body panels where they belong.

[71Chevy4-speed]

Some people shouldn't breed. Why disgrace something great..... we will never know. Nothin against new trucks, I just like old ones.

[juju808]

the first truck i am not a fan of, but the second... OMG that looks amazing... if only you could see that driving around town sometime...

[sider68]

I,ll go against the grain here and say I like it.Though the way things are going now the new trucks are getting close in looks to the old(body styling wise)
As far as new boxes on old trucks..to each their own.At least with thr newer ones it is easier to get liners and covers.Plus it eliminates those ugly chains on the tailgate

[trinic]

trying to imitate an SSR, i guess.

[Zumo]

Actually I thought it would look good on a swb regular cab sportside truck. I think this may be the ONLY WAY it would look cool.

These have been around for a while now, before the SSR was even seen. It body stye is based on a 39 studebaker. The only thing I dont like is the bed body lines, I think it should be staighter on top. I was going to build one on my daily driver after it reached 100,000 miles, but changed my mine becuase of a few issues with it. I still think it looks like a nice "ROD" not really a truck. http://www.kreativerodwerks.com/Pricing/default.asp

I saw one at Pigeon Forge last year (the 1500 conversion) and I didn't think it looks too bad. It looks better in person than in the adds. I kind of agree that it looks better on a short regular cab than the extended cab. I have seen much worse that is for sure. I think I like th one than makes it look like a 40 Ford on the front better though.

[rambler]

I think for the $$$,, I would just by Randy's T, but this I like! Would be cool to build and play with!
