If you like it go for it as long as the paint matches good. O think they look good either way.

My opinion is I think they have been overdone on the 67-72's. Seems like every other truck has one now.

good price? I would buy it. Which do you like more? Who's truck is this? Makr to suit the owner. Maybe have 2 hoods so you can switch from time to time.

I like them, but you need to lower the truck and swap wheels to make it look right!
