Question My truck lookin good???

I have been told that the only way my truck would look good is in the early morning fog from 10 feet away.


Boy were they wrong.

I agree, it outclasses the S10 its siting next to

I'd paint the rest of the truck primer grey. Primer grey looks sweet on these trucks. Or you could paint the front clip red, lol.

I swapped front ends back in....I think it was Feb or so. If you want to dig through the threads, I posted it in "some one pulled a flim flam(longhorn updates)" I put the GMC front clip on the Longhorn. I am putting the red hood back on and probably gonna put the fenders ion red primer. If that doesn't look good, I'll probably get the whole sucker in gray primer (I hate vehicles in primer...looks like they belong in the garage to me) but I'll probably put a cheap flame job on it.
The other turbine got stollen back in december or so. I'd still like to get my hands on the SOB who did that.
