Good cause I don't much care for this chromed plastic ebay special. Think I may just paint it black. I busted the original one in a accident.

Make fun of me all you want, but if Cragar actually made anything in the last 10 years that wasn't fugly maybe I would know what they are.

When is the last time you saw Cragar "stuff" on a major show vehicle, in a magazine, or at an orr-road shop? I can honestly say I've never seen anything Cragar... that says something, - it's nothing special. How many guys on this board have Cragar wheels or other parts on their new trucks?

I rest my case.

If you had a cool car and wanted to make it cooler, you simply just put cragars on it.
Yep, it was either Crager or Keystones and white spoke American Racing for
4x4 trucks.

That special edition truck is sweet !

C'mon, I can't be the only one here that thinks this is friggin' ugly. The truck is covered up in rice, the thing would look right at home at an import car show! Just check out that hood …pitiful, All that’s missin’ is a big ‘ol wing out back & about 50 DVD monitors. Looks like it came right out of an episode of Pimp my ride!

I could do without the fake hood scoop. but I do like the black hood and grill setup.

That's just a mok up. real thing should look better, I think. I hope.

Not to knock Crager or anything, but I really like the American Racing Torq Thrust 2's on my ‘68 Chevelle even tho either one would look good!

I Like that look! I'm sure the actual truck will look great. It seems that the retro-look is on a roll.

Maybe they'll re-introduce the AMC PACER.

After all these years I didn't realize the Keystone Classic was made by Cragar. I had Keystones on my 65 Ford Galaxy in high school. If I remember they are a two piece wheel because one night I swerved to avoid a deer and spun the center spokes in the rim on one wheel and snipped off the valve stem. I took them off after that.

They need to lose the Chrome side steps and chrome rear bumper.

Custom front bumper and race inspired spoiler,valance... looks cool.

Missing the fog lights.

I actually like the upper half of the mirror painted.. maybe cause it red.

The slots in the room were removed.. cool! I hate those slots.

Wiper cowl looks different.

Dislike the stock F150, flat black, textured handles. Might be ok if they were smoothed and painted flat black like the hood and spoiler.

Blue brake calipers.... why not red? "Crager Big Blue Brake package" pffft


Over all, I like it. Needs a little tweaking in my book, and a supercharger. With a big hood scoop like that, you're gonna have a few challengers.

IMO, it's not too ricey. I think that term is blown around too much and has become generic for anything out of the ordinary.

I remember those days when you had a choice of about 3 different wheels...

I think the Crager truck is awesome...but to each, his own...
