I found this truck while browsing the internet. The body is definitely a slick but i have no idea what the grille and headlights are from. I thought it looks kinda cool, especially if you like ratrods.

 

looks like the grill and headlights from a 55 only the 55 had one headlight per side! It is however rat rodded so anything is possible

 

Barf-O-Rama! Bout ALL I can say.

I'm with JO, a sad waste of a good truck.

 

Are the hood prop sticks factory or a dealer added accessory?

 

Those are Cholo Gang Banger Hood Brackets... they hold the hood there so as you drive, it creates lift to keep the truck from bottoming out in driveways.... They are an aftermarket add on that Ford thought to be a safety issue, as they hindered forward visibility especially at higher speeds. they do necessitate driving with your head hanging out the side window... They do however have an unforeseen benefit... the indiuced air flow helps keep the engine bay much cooler, and with the the exception of a few bugs here and there, much cleaner... I have a few set's for sale if you are interested... they retail for $650 per pair, or you can get the do it your self kit for $ 2.98 at your local lumber yard! Installation not included!

 

Looks like the same person did the customizing here. Notice the use of the dual headlights.




Stylish......

 

Buzz,

Ya know our trucks dropped the dual headlights in 1960, but FoMoCo and others continued with their 'stylish' use on passenger cars for many years afterward.

 

You can't fool me, John. i know your just itchin to haul a load of horse Manure with it...

 

It's sure not my style, but that is some interesting work on the grille. Maybe the dual headlights from whichever 57-60 had them and a 55 grille. I've never liked the lowered look much, but as far as lowered trucks are concerned, I think slicks are about the best looking ones.

 

I like it. Reminds me of the Johnny Cash song where he sings about building a Cadillac from pieces he had snuck from work across several years.

This truck appears to have plenty of neat fab work. I'd be interested in seeing any details.

 

Looks like it was dropped off a ten story building...cheap way to lower your pickup!
I'd be bug eyed too..lol

 

If every truck was fixed up to original specs,we wouldn't appreciate them as much cause they all would be the same! Just like the ladies there must be ...never mind I think I was starting a deep hole there lol I put down the shovel.

 

Are you sayin' you like 'em with BIG headlights?.....uh, that is, I mean trucks, yeah, trucks... I wuz talkin' about trucks.

 

Old Harley give me back my shovel! lol
