Since you guys are all F100 lovers, I just want to see what you all think of this.

Is the metalwork subtle enough to leave you scratching your head?

Stock Size.


Chop and Section.


Chop, section, fenders pulled in.


Not sure whether to pull the front fender and gravel pan down.

The only thing that has me scratching my head is the butt-ugly yellow racing stripe.

looks like the leading edge of the hood was rounded more.

Looks slightly chopped, and the hood sectioned a little in addition to the smoother leading edge. Or maybe I'm wrong. Stu

The whole truck has been sectioned, I believe. A tremendous amount of work for very little difference, IMO.

top chopped, Louvers removed from the side of the cowl, what was previously said about the hood, running boards look like they are 6" thick,

Something is wrong with the top rails of the bed and the big difference is the front section of the front fenders. Looks to have been extended downtowards the ground and the wheel opening has been arched to match the tire

To answer the question - no, I don't think it's that subtle...I think most guys who look at these trucks on a daily basis would notice what was done pretty quickly as the metalwork is extreme enough. I think it would look pretty great if it didn't have the stripe...but still wouldn't leave me scratching my head.

OK, I made some edits. I fixed the bedrails, not sure what went wrong with those. Running boards are cleaned up now.

I just can't decide what to do. The thing is I am transplanting the upper portion of one cab onto the lower half of another. The work involved at this point to section the truck will only involve the hood. As I stated cab will already have to be welded back together and the bedsides will be custom pressed so I can simply shorten up the sides at that time.

I removed the stripe for you all, however I plan on doing a large portion of tailgating in this truck for Mountaineer Games. Hence the gold and blue. Thought the stripe with some other gold detailing, maybe a WV logo on the dash with some gold and white pin striping would look pretty good.
