thanks, yeah i plan on painting the fuel door black, along with the badges, and probably getting the step & bull bar powdercoated.

the side lugs are about 2in. exactly from the knuckle.

Looks good either way. IMO would look best with PTM handles, Black flares and smoked tails.

Turn what chrome you have left black. Then if you want, start worrying about PTM stuff. Use photoshop to see if you even like them PTM before you do it though. Looks mean though with the flares black. Nice look.

lol this site should be blackedout-F150online.com

Vote me in for keeping the first picture alive and getting ride of those wheels and replacing with some mazzi hulk chromes!

Maybe even some euro tail lights, nah just kidding.

Seriously I think the PTM look on the first picture with the chrome maybe leaving off the handles possibly doing PTM on handles has got to be one of the top trucks on this site.

it will make a huge difference!
