Re: why?
I you ask me, he ruined a perfectly good truck. Sure it could be fixed with a new cab, but I'd rather build my own.

Re: why?
Easy guys, remember that the person that built this truck probably put his heart and soul into it. I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it if a whole forum thrashed your ideas and enginuity(sp). I do not know the owner or builder but he did put a lot of work into it. I understand also that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm just saying put yourself into the builders shoes, you would probably love it.

Re: why?

Re: why?
great choice of color.Chop is a bit extreme for my taste but the effort is not lost on me.Anyone know how the front fenders were sectioned?They look pretty stock to me.

Re: why?
Do I like it?Not really.Hopefully it wasn`t a "perfectly good truck" to begin with.Too much chop,even if a chop would work on these trucks.Since it`s bugged-up anyway...heck,why not add stacks for that "Please Call Fashion Police!" look.

Re: why?
$20,000 worth of receipts don't always mean you got the best.
Not exactly what I would have done (okay, not even close), but to each his own. I like the color. I really do. Funny, the description even makes sure you know it has functional wipers. Short version..... Coming at you, you get a knot in your stomach...anticipating a killer truck... After it passes, that knot expells itself onto the parkinglot in a violent spew of last night's pasta salad.

Re: why?
I think they were trying to achieve that "I'm a dumbass" look.
 Seriously though, I can appreciate the countless hours that went into a project like that.

Re: why?
I LOVE it to each his own Im sure every one can set at a computer and gripe about something some one else did. The thing is there is there is no other truck out there that looks like his he had a vision and he built it. His vision is not the same as every one else. If every ones vision where the same we would all drive ford

Re: why?
The builder/owner had a vision for what they thought would be dazzling, and went for it. I respect that. As a package it might not be what I would have done, but there are some aspects of the truck that has given me some ideas for my own truck.

Re: why?
Well, there is a lot to look at and it certainly makes me smile. Of course, I think that a chrome air cleaner is "custom".

Re: why?
I'm sorry guys, but the question was "Does anybody like this?" and if I am going to answer that question truthfully, not me. Sorry, call the Politically Correct police if you must, but that truck is not pretty. I fully envision Cheech and Chong pimpin' this through downtown L.A. with about 50 lbs. of "Blond Lebanese Hash" between the seats.
And for the record, I would rather have someone tell me honestly that they don't like my taste in trucks than to lie to me to make me "feel good". ...........................Bamm!
