First step is to not just take all the advice in this thread and run with it. You would have one ugly truck if you did. Not saying that what everyone is saying is wrong, but you have different people throwing different things out. Everyone had a different direction they go with their truck, so if you take everyones advice you will be going 20 different directions and nothing will go together. Just start looking at pics of trucks on the net and get an idea of what style you want and go from there. Its real easy with these trucks to make them look even more "grandpa" if you arent careful. You get a glassscape thing for the rear window, running boards, center caps, and a few lund stick on hood things and you have just achieved the grandpa look, but each of things individually arent necessarily bad. Id get tube steps instead of the running boards you have.

Those tries look weak and don't fit the mass of a F-350.....a 33" tire will fill in the wheel wells and look more normal.

LOL!! I know what you're saying. I was just looking for some ideas, that's all. I have no intention of doing everything in this thread, but I really do appreciate all the feedback. I'm still not decided on what I want to do. I'll figure it out though. Thanks again guys.
