It is wild but fits the truck nicely.

Keith your mind is an amazing thing! I don,t know how you get your ideas, Its great!

( I am a little worried about those back up lights though, too modern looking?)

However, I don,t have any imagination and I,m sure your going to have an amazing truck when your done.

What the hey ???? Again, you make me wonder where you get these ideas Keith. I like the look as it fits the overall theme of the truck very nicely. I too share the thoughts of B/B on the backups, however I am in no position to critisize since I have no imagination and have mainly used bolt-on to construct. I enjoy the way you pop each mod on us one at a time, one of the better treats on the site. Anyhow, wicked is as wicked does.

LOL, I was thinking the same. That gets my vote for the sweetest 56' I've seen! Awesome job, now a satin black to go with the gothic look would be pretty killer.
