In my opinion if you want to have a really unique truck that turns heads just simply restore it to original factory condition. That's more rare than any flashy curves and stripes bull sh** you can come up with. Why spend all that time and money just to make another "custom" looking truck that only you will probably think looks good? Yes they made a ton of these trucks in the day, but there arent very many that still look the way they did when they left the factory. When they do, thats what turns my head, but thats just me of course.

 

What he ^ said.

 

There are a few on here that interest me. (I shortened the list so it doesn't take up to much room)

Have you ever seen a dent without the rain gutters? If anyone has a pic I would like to see it.

Using side vents and getting rid or the Cowl.

Delete the wing window and use one piece of glass. I have read this before. Has anyone ever tried this?

 

Awesome ideas, and much appreciated everyone.

I got the truck in the garage today. Removed the bed and almost the entire nose. (Removing it all separately so I can give each piece the attention it needs as I put it back together.)

@Justin's - I understand 100% what you're getting at. I love the original look of the trucks and always have. I'm just looking for ideas that will set mine apart from others.

@HIO - Awesome list. That alone gave me a few other ideas. :-)

Here's what I have to start with:


And here's what I got done tonight after work.
