im 17 too and have my truck restored. i think wheels do the most for the truck. i got mine off a 92 f150. check out my gallery and see what ya think. Also, i think a truck looks good if the front is lowered just about 2 or 3 inches. just my opinion. as for the girls liking it, i just odnt think girls are into old trucks, or at least the ones here arent.

Much to my surprise, a young lady complimented my 67 F250 recently. I'm used to getting compliments from other guys, but one from a young girl really caught me off guard :-) I'm pretty sure I embarassed myself after that by babbling about the old truck, yadi yadi yadi...
So, some girls can appreciate and old truck! And she wasn't, how was it said, ....plump :-)

Very nice might I sugest a couple id's?
First that truck is crying for tint.Maybe that chromed tint that would relly set her off nice
Second You also need to lower her a coulpe of inches in the fornt and back.But otherwise you have a truck most of us would be very happy to have as is.What engine ya got in there?

Look at my truck, its similar to yours, red and shiny.
No more power, just accessories? Too bad...
Here are a few thoughts...
Aluminum cross-bed toolbox
Head-ache rack (I think thats what its called)
Remote control style spotlights like on cop cars (and Theo's and my truck)
I don't like glasspacks either...too crude and chevy-like in my opinion. (all the chevy's around here have glasspacks)
Body lights are too ricer. Get red and blue strobes on the dash and grille, and a siren...now if only you could find some XMT plates...CHICKS DIG FIRE TRUCKS!!!
Custom front bumper and winch
James Bond style gadgets...too bad you have a bench seat, could've had ejectable buckets...
CB
Air Horn w/ lanyard
Sound system with the effects of 9.0 earthquake
Back-Up alarms are always nice...

Nice pickup. I vote leave it alone, well maybe a subtle pinstripe job.
But back to the girls. They don't realize it but women are drawn, like a moth to the flame, to a man that is a little dangerous and mysterious. If the truck doesn't help then get a Harley. The chicks really dig those and guys that ride them.

I agree, there are a lot of stupid women out there drawn to the bad boys. Never did understand that, except maybe they are still trying to make Dad angry :-)
I would not worry about the engines power. Having a lot of power at a young age will result in many tickets or a nasty accident.
Believe it or not, you may still have something to learn about driving. I look back at how I used to drive, and I was about average for a teen, and I wonder how I survived.

amen Gtex i got to admit your right and thats why i dont really push the issue about me havein a truck that can kill me ive already got a buick 
direct t bone hit in the passanger side door. a new tie rod, door and alot of body work later u cant even tell. i guess its a good thing that i was in a sturdy truck and not some little car or i coulda been hurt alot worse. the car i pulled out infront of was doin about 50 and when it hit me i ripped the steering wheel right off because i gripped it so hard. 
ah o well my dad made me fix it my self and i learned my lesson that was a bad deal. all the parts were free tho so i cant complain about it costing me anything. i just had to drive around with my door looking like a crused soda can for about 2 months.

Well, I reckon your truck looks just fine. If the girls don't like it, well that's their loss. Maybe free rides to and from school could get you some cool points with them, but then I 'm guessing your stock 360 drinks the gas pretty good. Been awhile since I was in school, but I drove a 70 F100 that was chalk red with 240ci and three on the tree. Some girls liked it, some didn't.
I think it looks real good though. Good job.
