The truck in the 1st 2 pics is very nice. I really do like the grille, very suttle and tasteful. Goes well with the rest of the truck.


In my book, Custom is spelled with a 'c' not a 'k'. That goes for 'cool' too. I associate the 'red-rag and converse clan' with the idiot-like mis-spelling of those words. These retards seem to infiltrate car shows in masses and will generally swarm like locusts to the nearest rotted out pile of **** that is dragging the ground wearing wide whitewalls. Sadly (for them) the latest victims of this highly questionable culture has been '60-'66 chevy pickups.... but that's just because they've already scabbed various crap onto the last remaining riverbed model A cowl in existance and naturally... complimented it with some ugly-a$$ grill off of some ol' farmer's tractor.
Every circus, has their clowns I guess...

Ok.. eh, time for another beer...

 

I like the blue truck's headlight/grill setup and also what looks to be Chrysler quads on the truck in the B&W pic. I don't like most quad installs, especially the canted ones because they look oversized and they don't fit the opening shape. I keep looking at vehicles on the road for a donor for my 56 that look like they might have come from the factory.
