You know, to get that ol' classic/antique muscle look? or is it the scourge of

humanity, kill it with fire.

Ford : F-150 Custom in Ford | eBay Motors

I dont know, frankly it's growing on me.

not too expensive (bid) either for rebuilt everything and 128 XXX clicks.

It would look much better if it were a bullnose and all the green was red.

I've always dug this style. Maybe I'll do one myself one day.

Go for it!!!

I LOVE it....Definantly has some time put into it...

I'm a fan of everything the truck has taken a part of...Hotrods, F-Series trucks, flat black/scallops.....It's perfect to me..

As for the green...Its a beautiful color...

I don't like it. I think because of the green. The flat black looks good, but the green reminds me of the kids that used to hang at the local Taco Bell parking lot with them goofy slammed trucks and blender-motor skateboard rice racers. And I dont care for lowered trucks anyway, not of any body style, fullsize or compact. But... to each his own!

I don't mind lowered trucks. What I hate is the guys that bag their trucks and chop up the frames and have to build tunnels in the bed so the frame will sit on the ground. If I have a truck it needs to function as a truck. Something that's only lowered a few inches and still has leaf springs I can still haul a couch or something with.

I'm not a fan of lowered trucks either but it does look nice, except for the wheels/tires. I'd throw a set of stock Lightning wheels/tires on it.

On second thought, I'd probably just get a Lightning.

I also vote on the green bein red lol.

Its different... when I see these style Fords, I think big and heavy haulers. Not slammed street trucks... Its "ok" in my eyes. I wouldnt drive it but I wouldnt send it to the crusher either

yea, count me in on not liking anything to do with lowering, but this truck isn't extreme. Eye-catching to be sure. Lowering vehicles is on the way out, but sadly is being supplanted with crap like this...get ready to puke...
