You should be banned for showing pics of a Ford pulling a Chevy

Yes i did ,, but im not completely happy with the wheel opening feature on the pass. front . Im, thinking that at one time the truck was pulled into a service station and one of the metal poles that protects the pumps was hit on the passengerside . The bumper had not been painted due to a dent and body filler , but they had already painted the truck which for me really brought out the feature . I bought a new bumper and grill which are to be painted . Thinking about just buying the fender ( like $60 ) and having it painted with the bumpers , grill and sport mirrors . OCD setting in again . Probably should just get it done and drive it so it is not so nice i wont drive it .

It's 2/4 and rides like a Caddy compared to my Ford . It also takes $3 a gallon vs $3.60 .
