    I'm all for hot-rodding and modifications, but this is just not right... A pic for posterity's sake as it will vanish from E-Bay in the future:

    It is pretty cool. If it had been done to a Chevy truck....it would be even COOLER. Should have stuck a modern Ford front end on it.

    I'm not feelin' it.....



    Lots of work to be sure, wasted. I'm all for adding stuff from across all different makes if it improves the looks or performance of a vehicle. That neither improves the looks or performance of that truck.

    Dare to be different, I guess. It sure is different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, too bad he had his eyes shut! :rofl2:

    just because you can do something doesnt mean that you should do it. this is a prime example of that.

    It looks ok to me. I believe the owner was going for "One of A Kind Look" and he has probably achieved that. Also, wud like to see it frm different angles.
