OMG dude....that is terrible. It looks like a 1971/72 tribute to the family truckster.

You did right thing by putting the right face on it.

I didn't say anything was "wrong" with it? I asked for additional information concerning this MODIFICATION. You then replied: It looks normal nothing odd about it. The front end looks like its original.

1.) It's not "normal" and it's very "odd."
2.) It's not "original" It never came from the factory that way.

Now, do you have any additional information on this front end modification?

They look the best with original front ends in my opinion.

I kinda like the phantom grills myself. The widened 67 grill is ok too. Don't like the headlights, but it's not that bad. To each his own.

Here's something different. I actually kinda like it, I think it fits the truck. But I'm sure someone will think its ugly.
