Embossed flames or scallops
Someone here turned me on to the Metalshapers website where I found some pictures of some flames and scallops embossed into sheetmetal. It is a bit hard to see where they would fit on our trucks, and I doubt I have the necessary craftsmanship to add them to my truck, but what a neat idea.
If I had a long box I would be tempted to add scallops to the sides of that slab-sided boring box - but a short box seems a bit short for this sort of art.

There are flames embossed on the doors of the '48' F-1 WyoTech did, it looked neat.
Can't see them, but this is the truck.

Stainless is too stiff to work with for that kind of work, you could do it in 19ga steel tho with a hammerform. The embossing will add stiffness just like bead rolling. Flames would look good on a tailgate!

Now, Ax, you know by now you can not get away with teasing us - you got to tell what "other ways to get that effect" are.
