It's no King Ranch...

Got the windows tinted and the grille/headlights painted. Now I just need to get some new (bigger) tires, bedliner, fender flares & "tu-tone" paint done.

Amazing what some paint will do to a vehicle. Looks pretty sharp but i do have to say that when i read where you said you painted the grill/headlights. I was thinking to myself why would someone paint there headlights. /shrug, i've had waaay to much sun for today.

LOL- Guess painting the headlights was a poor choice of words. I just didn't feel like typing "headlight surround".

Looks nice, NoMo!

Why didn't you paint the bumper top, too?

It's no King Ranch ?!?!?!?!?! Why NoMo, don't make me come over there, that's a darned fine looking truck. Besides the fact that now it looks like you, and it looks like nothing else. I dig it, you dig it, it's a beautiful thing. I like it better than the KR, and so do you, so chill baby, Ken

My thoughts, too, Ken.

That's a real sharp look, NoMo. I've always had this hankerin' for that type of headlight - I think they look cool...especially the way you got 'em "painted".

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Still thinking about the bumper top. My plan is to tu-tone the truck with the metallic argent that Ford used on the bumper metal. Then, add some argent fender flares... all in an attempt to break up the yards of white paint. Right now, in my mind, I think the argent bumper top will "flow" into the fender flares better than a white one would.

Of course, if anyone has a better idea, I'm open to suggestions.

I think you are probably right about the front bumoper lines looking better color matched to the flares. BTW good looking rig!
