the dually fenders look great.they are a retro look.
however,the problem is that they are on a very modern styled truck(with oversize,way overkill grill,and jumbo sized "car like" headlights) so they stand out like a sore thumb.
great looking dually fenders.its just too bad ford didn't go retro with the rest of it.
see the resemblance.
1955 ford truck:
if you look close,you can tell the aftermarket could have a field day completing the retro look up front quite a bit.
picture some extreme flared fenders with a new style housing to hold round headlights,and a retro grill to match.
the front clip im thinking could turn out ok.the cab style your kinda stuck with though.....however some stainless steel mirrors to replace them big plastic things,and some other type of cab lights placed evenly like ford used to do,rather than this chevy copy placement,could pull it together ok.
but there could be some really cool aftermarket goods to come along and match the style of the rear dually.

I've never been a fan of dually pickups, primarily because most of the fenders of all the makes have always been ugly IMO. And even uglier after the fiberglass gets busted.
That said, I like the looks of the '11 dually. Not enough to have ordered a DRW 350 instead of my SRW 350, but almost.
The dually fenders are definitely better looking than the hood and the fake billet grille.
Joe, who still has two dually trucks, but they're both flatbeds.
