If you don't like our opinions, then do not post a thread informing us that you "need opinions!"

Iyiyi. I don't want it lifted nor lowered stock height with 31 10.50 R15 tires. I mainly just want to know what kind of hoods will look good that I like also with my set up but I guess according to everybody whom has posted it isn't even worth dropping money into.

You say you want a sleeper look but you want to put a bunch of bolt on body stuff, which says anything but sleeper. You want a 4x4 to look like a 2wd, whats the purpose. Most people with a 4x4 want it to be capable and not hindered by sitting low and looking like a 2wd. Some are just trying to say do all of the body work and get it all squared away before you worry about all of the add ons. If you ask for opinions on public forums don't get upset when people give you their opinions and they do not agree with what you want

Bolting/sticking EVERYTHING on that is in the JC whittney catalog does NOT make something look nice

LESS IS MORE

LMC truck sells cowl hoods for bricknose trucks. They also sell roll pans to replace the rear bumper which would do wonders for that truck. A tonneau cover would be nice and all ONE color. Buy some factory Alcoa wheels off a late model Bronco or F-Series. I think the higher trim levels are the ones that had them.

I am not trying to do that I am mainly trying to get it to look like that bull nose I posted earlier but with out the lift. I want the flares as they will keep the mud from messing up my paint when I get it on. Maybe I said a little to much that confused people so let me say this:

I want it to look like that bull nose I posted earlier just no lift. No lowering or anything. Want my flares as they will keep the mud and debree from messing my paint up when it is done. So pretty much what I am looking for is hoods and the little fairing that goes over the windshield. So in Conclusion I would like to know which hoods and that fairing would you guys think will look good and as I look through I will say ya or nay. Thanks everybody for there opinions already it is a big help I sorry for being a little rude.

The flare would look totally out of place with "stock" sized tires. Unless you have figured out how to put a 14" wide tire on a stock height truck, flare are not needed

I thought about the roll pan does anybody have it on there 80s Ford so I can get an image. I am thinking of roll up tonna cover but concerned about snow caving it in. I think I am gonna end up painting it all white now the more I think of it. I am planning on keeping my chrome spoke wheels though. I am not seeing the cowl induction for these trucks thanks alot for your comment this helps alot.
