Looks great!
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

Headlights are actually the cheapo $20 free shipping ones on ebay. They look good and work just fine, I was surprised.

nice looking truck, I would have left the front bumper the 73-80 style it matches better imo and the grille chrome.

Love the color and the lights for sure, liking the smooth tailgate too. rear bumper looks better in these pics. I kinda like the older dash as well but can't blame ya for having a crack free one. Now I think ya need some clear parklights for the front, some of the euro style or   ones.

I had to look twice at the bumper. I was wondering how that would look since I'll probably be starting with a 1980s truck and adding a 1973 front end and I must say that I rather like it!
