    Here's my practical daily driver. Looks great cleaned up and from about 50 feet away. Get up close and you can see that yeah, it's an actual work truck and not perfect. Now if I raise the hood sometimes a crowd gathers around to have a look and this truck also hurts a lot of feelings in big hills and mountains too, to where I can only imagine all the teeth gnashing haha! I never criticized anyone's ride though, in fact nothing looks better to me than hoods with long wheel bases that are cleanly done.

    Do you still have an old FLD parked somewhere that you no longer drive?

    No. I ended up selling it. Last I heard it’s been wrecked and rebuilt a couple times, and it got cut down to 250” from 280” and repainted after the last wreck.

    I'd like to have at least 265". I keep saying I'm going to get a good paint job on it but find other things to spend that money on lol.

    I’m not scared. I’d drive it if the checks don’t bounce and do it proud. The pansies can have their air ride and autoshifts. :cool:

    Except for that ugly Alabama Crimson Tide looking stripe on it. I'm ashamed of that.

    Why? No need to be, IMHO. Looks alright to me.

    Might be a bit too bland if it were all white.
