Ha, I don't know if mine's gorgeous nor will it ever be. It's a purpose build offroader. have a build thread over in the offroad section.

1979 F250
460
C6
NP205
Front axle- 2.5 ton Rockwell toploader open
Rear axle- 2.5 ton Rockwell toploader welded spiders and flipped hubs (6.72 gears)
53" Michelin XZLs
Full hydraulic steering (saginaw pump swap)
Front and rear pinion brakes

The building starts on page 16 (as of right now) because the offroad folks like ramble.

Made enormous progress this weekend with shocks, anti-wrap bar, bumpers and custom bed incomplete. The bed has a cab length toolbox and two side toolboxes recessed in two 1/4" steel plates as well as a recessed 22 gallon fuel cell. It's not mounted yet though. There's several "lower priority" things that aren't done but it drives, it turns (very well!) and it stops (better than stock on 33's). It also flexes like a boss.

Tires mounted on new rims
All gussets and x-members welded
Steering plumbed
Cylinder mounted
Fenders and grill trimmed
