I think if those headlights were the aerodynamic kind (with a slight convex bulge) ,not set back in the buckets, it'd look better.

Here is a little late night photshop....Honestly, I think the original truck has potential....It just lacks execution in a few aeras, in my opinion.

hmmm Chop the top about 4"
remove the head rest on the seats for the shaved look, add a few phantom flames to it on the air dams in the hood and off the headlights on the fenders. and hmmm maybe paint job, and hmm cant really answer about the grill on the first pic, but the 2nd looks much better, i am still in shock!!! would like to see these changes in photoshop if some one has the time!!!!!LOL

it's kinda cool (the center portion), but the headlights aren't. has kind of an earlier classic look which is hard to design onto newer stuff. so it's definitely good work, but the lights need to be re-worked. pretty cool otherwise...

Not for me, but I'd give him an A for effort. Can't blame a guy for doing things his own way which is not always a bad thing.

Nice job doing all the work but I think it is a waste.

To each his own...but nope not for me. Square doesn't fit well with me on our trucks, i.e lights or fender openings. I have seen worse, but nope I'm not rushing for it.
