I'm located right outside of Memphis in the town of Collierville. And I like everyone's idea of satin black but that blue has really grown on me. Thanks for whoever did the photoshop though!!

Hey does anybody know if the liscense plate behind the bumper like that is legal? That's where the mount is at and I haven't got pulled over yet but I'm nervous that a cop won't want it hidden like that

Do you know if that was the stock mounting location? It may be grandfathered in like the seatbelt law

I am going to paint mine a dark rust color eventually. There are some features that lend itself to contrasting paint like the 2 dishes in the hood, I will paint mine black to contrast the dark rust. look at the lines around your cab and you will see a way to make an interesting paint job. I learned about "contractors overhauls" years ago when I bought heavy construction equipment for the first time. Paint is like bacon for trucks, it makes everything better. Also they still sell some cool old school hood ornaments like swept wing airplanes ford used back in the day on the cars. Several would look good on your truck. of course tires make everything. I particularly like the baby moons and I think you will be able to find some that fit your existing wheels. LOL of course I am also the guy who bought the barefoot gas pedal and dimmer switch from JC whitney in the 70's to spice up his ride
