They look pretty good, the curvature of the lower body actually matches up kind of close

I agree, it's just not the right body style...

I got one on my truck, I'm sure you can find a pic of it on here. I like it, I will say you have to make new bed mounts(well it's easier). Also you will notch the cross members under the bed to get it to drop an inch, if not they do look awful. I put one on my truck though because I couldnt find a good shortbed period down here.

There was a truck on Ebay recently that had one. I attached a pic.

I saw that truck too. I asked myself why someone would put that much work into it and not atleast modify that bed or put the right bed on it. BTW that was the best pic of it. The others made me realize that this is now my second worst pet peeve (sorry to anyone who has done this, I'm not bashing just not a fan)

Down here they love to use wooden blocks for body lifts...especially on those cars that sit taller than my truck because they have some 26, 28, 30 inch wheels.....10,000 on wheels and tires and 8 dollars on wood to lift your car up with. hahaha
