    I think you draw the line at the cab floor?

    Lowered and/or with the ultra low bumper is the line IMO. A show work truck still has to be functional.

    What fun is looking if you can’t touch. ;)

    I draw the line at a full height sleeper and fl classic, that one doesnt look too bad at least in the picture, but i just dont like the aesthetic.

    As for other things, paint scheme and level of polish on wheels. A truck that streaks with the slightest amount of rain or one gravel lot is worthless to ME, im just not washing it weekly. Solid colors can be fine, but solid shiney or matte black is a harder one, i DO prefer something to break up the lines or perhaps accent the lines of the truck.

    Chrome and chicken lights, too much is subjective, but think of it like this, a woman that wears too much makeup and jewelry isnt neccessarily any better looking than her friend that only wears a little bit of eye shadow and a single set of stud earrings, its also how they present themselves, nor vice versa. lotta chrome, lights, running the jakes in the truck stop, thats not a guy i want to get to know, hes obnoxious and arrogant

    You have to be taller than 6'3 to really understand how amazing a condo classic is.

    Perhaps, but
    1. Its just not my aesthetic, for what its worth, flattop classics are pretty ugly in my book too
    2. Do flatbed with 90% of loads at 4 foot and lower and all that condo does is suck fuel. Midroof is where its at for a good compromise between space and fuel mileage.

    For reference, im 6' but 150lbs, so space for tools is more important than space for me
