Funny about the headlights....

I've always hated the headlights on the 11-16 trucks also and equate them to the face of a fat kid with coke bottle glasses...
I need to change that some day....

They are looking more like the F150. look at them both quick and might not be able to tell the difference. I liked the fact you could easily tell the F150 and SD apart.

Not sure how the boxed frame will look in 20 years of salt sitting in it but the no rust body would be nice. hopefully interior of the frame is coated well

but they aren't as bad as the ones on the lower trim models, those look really bad

At least with the headlights you have a chance at changing them but changing an interior is more of a challenge!

I like your style better then mine but the still need to flip the headlights back on top of the turn signal.

Yeah they do resemble the F150. Only time will tell on that frame.

The cab is the same between the 150 and SD now, but different up front.

Obviously looks are very subjective. On one hand I don't like the looks of the mirrors from the front of the truck but I LOVE the view you get out of the mirrors.
