I'm normally pretty open minded but this one left me just shaking my head wondering why?
Was at a local show today...

That front end would be good for snow plowing. At least it's well done.

At least the truck looks happy!

Just say NO to plastic surgery!! I just hate when old trucks try to look young. They have to just grow old gracefully!!

Different strokes for different folks. Looks to be well done and I'm sure the owner loves it.

I understand the different stokes/folks deal.......heck I put flames on mine, not everyone likes those.
It just seems like most people are into these old trucks FOR their classic good looks and lines....they like that they don't look anything like the newer cars. So to make it look like a modern vehicle seems strange to me.

So much great work wasted on an exceptionally poor design concept. I'm fairly certain that future FTEers will not be extolling the classic design features of much of what passes for current models.
