    I like it very much! The treatment of the tail lights and the surrounding area is very classy not changing it much aesthetically from stock but in every way an improvement. the little windows don't look stock but that does not grate me. Do the badges match the grill ...meaning are they from the same model year?

    I think its interesting that it has so much badging on it. Usually vehicles with this much modification are shaved.

    Very very nice! thanks for sharing with us.

      The license plate number was removed but still readable in the reflection.

        The front bumper almost looks to me as a chev. pickup with a lot of rework and re- chrome. The rear fenders have a dodge or ford look to them and I'am sure they are fiber-glass. Who ever did them must have a mold and could make some money putting them on the market.

          Overall, I like it. I especially like the tail light treatment. The only thing I really would change is the hoops.

            Wow. I never cared for those trucks, but this one knocks it out of the park. The designer and builder is the highest level of talent, the order of a Foose or a Trepanier or a Brizio. I think they got everything right, including totally nailing the wheels. I usually don't like yellow vehicles, but this one works for me.

            I would love to know more about the builder, and see what the frame, running gear, and interior are.

              Not keen on the running boards at all; chopped off at the front and defeats the smoothness of the original design. Original Stude rear fenders would have been better too.

                Bish, maybe your monitor is not showing you how the front of the running board has been beautifully blended up into the fender by what looks like a molded rubber piece. I would bet that in person they look just right.

                  The truck is a nice piece of work, but I too would not have put on the running boards and would have used stock fenders. I think the quarter window works very well as do the bumpers and tail lights.

                    Well if you're gonna nit pick, I don't much care for the 2014 style big wheel wheels.

                      But as with any custom, personal preference comes into play. IMHO, the running boards, if they are to be on the truck, should be diamond plate or whatever all the way to the front. The rubber screams "Add-On". A very nice machine by any stretch.
