wow that is a great looking truck i mean great, the only thing i don't like is the yellow stripe on the side, but it's not my truck.

where did you get your brush gaurd from i really like it

to me that looks PERFECT and exactly what i would like my truck to look like i LOVE the paint job on it!!!

i looked for a rollbar everywhere and i can't find anyone who makes them unless you custom order it and they are like $700 soooo i just stuck with my toolbox like yours

The brush guard came with the truck but it was dull alum. So we had the guy paint it when we had the truck painted. The whole pint job truck and guard was 300 bucks And the rear view i would think is just stock, i bought the truck from a family friend and then only thing he ever put on the truck was the flowmaster exhaust.

good looking truck-i think the mirrors are off a older style f150-or they are just that way because it's a 250-most the 150 that year had the smaller type like on the truck in post #5

I like it the way it is. It looks nice.

I vote NO on a roll bar. I think they look cheesy on most trucks.

If you could get some old school triple/double bars that go all the way to the tailgate, I think it'd be sweet.

I also vote no on the roll bar. If it were mine I would put a lunar visor on cause I think they look sweet! I have cab over lights on mine and I think they look sweet too. Mine came with the cab over lights on it.

go to truckaddons.com.......they have a decent selection of roll bars..... i say yes to the roll bar, and take off that little brush guard and get yourself a full bumper replacement... then throw on a couple KC's and call it a day.
