Fender Skirts?!?

Gotta say, this is a new one to me. Of all the things you can do to screw up a truck, this has got to be at the top of the list. Ever see such a thing?

Old school hot rod mentality, applied to a Ford truck that way ='s FAIL. The things some folks thing looks good amazes me all the time. I do like the different color scheme to the 2nd trucks hub caps.

I think they would look good only if the truck was slammed, not showing off 3/4 of the wheel still.

It appears both trucks have those hideous eyebrow visors also. There is no accounting for taste. Or lack thereof

Something about the skirts have an appeal but they need something, I don't know what 'tho.The visors over the windshields do nothing for me but each his own. Remember when the flat/verticle bug catchers on the front hood were the rage? Now those were ugly! gary

I like the "period" correct look as well. I loved my emerald lime green 73, it was quintessential 70's.


But to me, at the end of the day, a truck should at least look like it is capable of tracking off into the back roads and bringing back a load of firewood (or any other working, manly scenario that suits you)...... and skirts aren't manly---- unless you play the bag pipes.
