Hmmmm? Brig, am I hearing you correctly here? Do you visualize your 56 as Marilyn Monroe, and perhaps doing kinky things with your truck? Smile!

I don't bat for that team, So get your mind out of the gutter mr. hahaha, but, seriously, think about it, those trucks are awfully curvy in sorta a subliminal way don't you think dolly parton, as one of the other guys said. I don't know...but theres no fleetside,cameo etc that ever sold as much as the f1's and f100's, and if the was I'm sure youall tell me about it. I'm just making an observation, wonder what a shrink would make of my theory..any out there?

How can it be original if it was a copy of a toy?

I was hoping to hear from you Keith. It is you I had in mind when mentioning the high degree of talent and creativity on the DS. You know how we all love you truck and can never find anything wrong. So.........I still wonder how we would receive your ride in painted form if we had not seen it being created or had you not been here with us. Long live the darkside. Jon

The more I look, the more I like....I bet if he takes it to the F100 nats, it'll win "truck of the year" or what ever the biggest prize is called.

If not truck of the year, then "most costly truck to fabricate"

I don't mind the truck, I just think the wheels and fenders are out of proportion and the rears especially look like an afterthought. I would have reduced the size of the rear wheel well openings, angle trimmed the rear portion and tucked in the bottoms front and rear like he did the front part of the front fenders. Would have required narrowing the running boards, but that would have been good too. I also would have moved the front axle and wheel openings further forwards to rid the front heavy look of the stock fenders. I definitely admire the work done, just after doing all that body mods it looks incomplete IMHO.
