A) the paint scheme, colors and pattern of the paint (purple with silver Zots??!!)
is HideousB) Slammed into the ground, with those dopey looking whitewalls, and a bare gas tank in the box, and the wrong year grille, it is butt (or Super) ugly
C) It would even look worse once I looked under that hood, because I would instantaneously spew the contents of my stomach and other bodily fluids all over that stinking Brand X motor, and perhaps the rest of the truck too.
again, only an opinion, as requested by the initiator of this thread.

Personally, I like the scallops on the side. I also like the main color, black cherry I believe, and think the truck would look even better with this as it's only color. Gas tank could have used a little more thought.
Slamming a truck like this is a lot of extra work I wouldn't be willing to do. I don't dislike it and I might buy a pickup with this already done(if the price was right), But I wouldn't do it myself.
The tires look gorgeous on this truck.
God should smite the builder for putting a chebby motor in a Ford.

Even though I would not do any of the things the owner of this truck did. I also am not a fan of wide whitewalls. I am obviously Ford Fan but not necessarily to be considered a purist. I do think however that it is all a matter of personal taste and I have to give the owner credit where credit is due. So wether I like the truck or not this guy went to a tremendous amount of trouble and work to express his personal taste for that I applaude him. As for the engine swap it is going to repulse the majority of Ford fans anyway. I would not do that kind of swap either, But maybe it is just what he had to work with.
Just an opinion.

The tank in the back looks to upgraded in some later pics. That must have been a transition period during the build.
Not a fan of the slammed truck but I didn't buy or pay for that one so more power to him. At least he is giving the slick some exposure. Can't blame him for having a vision and building it. How many times do you see a slick for sale with the message below that says they lost interest or funds and must sell. That guy followed through.

Slick (slik) n. 1. Any Ford Motor Company truck manufactured between the years of 1961 and 1966. This includes all of the various models and body styles; F-100, F-250, F-350, F-450 thru F-800 series, Unibody, Styleside, Flareside, Custom Cab, Crew Cab, Supercab, Long Wheel Base, Short Wheel Base, Ranger Option, and so on. It also includes the corresponding Mercury models and body styles. 2. A slang synonym for the word “cool”. As in “Man, that thing is really slick!” 3. Forget all the other definitions for the word “Slick” in your Webster’s Dictionary.
