I've always liked a full rear window, I think it looks way cleaner than slider's, the only time I use mine is when I have the windows down cruising on the highway, let's the air go somewhere, but other than that I never use it, is that why it's a slider window?

I have had some negative comments thrown in my direction about
this truck. My sons and me built this from scratch. It corners on rails
and gives trucks with a LTR bigger engine a bad day.

it's different and that's good. i'm not a fan of the front valance, whatever is on the tailgate, or the bedcover wing. other than that it i think it looks sweet. sounds like it needs more go fast goodies tho to back up the decal

GT is a road racing package. It has That. Mustangs are a prime example of the letters. The only difference between say an LX and a GT is suspension and maybe duals. This truck was an effort to make a themed truck rather than a run of the mill lowered plain jane truck like most low rider guys have. They put on rims and lower it 2/4 and think they have the greatest thing since sliced bread. My dream car was and is a 67 shelby GT 350. I have had no luck in that department so we (my boys and I) thought what the hell. Tribute truck. The wing on the back actually make a difference. We tried it with and without. I get people that come up and ask questions and compliment it all the time. I always throw in the >>> I can make you one if ya want...lol. This truck has taken alot of time and money and is not done by any stretch but is fun to hit 35 MPH curves at 80 and not even hear the tire sqauk a bit. Some folks on here throw jeers and make fun of it...My quess they are jealous. I have seen their rigs and am not impressed but I refrain from throwing insults because there is an infinite way to build a truck and each has their own way of doing it. Must be an age thing. I checked out your truck and I looks pretty nice...great job!

A mustang LX had a 4 or 6 cylinder in it the GT's are the V-8's and have much more than just a dual exhaust. The suspension is heavier and oh yeah it has a V-8 in it.

They do not even make a LX Mustang any more. That has not been done since the 80's if I recall correctly.

That was me. I made the negative comment. I just dont like it. Way too much going on. The front valance is lower than the body lines, which is ghetto. The wing is ridiculous. And naming it a GT F150 with those decals is kinda gay......... and i dont know why you think your truck is super fast. You probably have about 20 hp/tq over mine with those simple bolt ons. BUT its a Ford, and its your truck and youve spent "a lot of time and money on it" so enjoy it.

Meh, its not a track vehicle so the wing had to have a very minimal impact. The graphics are actually pretty best looking. I like the truck, seems like ur coming off a bit sour though for some reason. And thanks for the compliment, I try to be different

Not sour at all, When the first thing out of someones mouth is negative it reminds me of my EX...lol She was QUEEN of negative thats why she got the AXE. As you said...I tried to be different and unique and not run of the mill. You can find a million black,white or whatever color supercrews with rims but what sets it apart from the rest??? Thats what I tried to do. I checked out all your pics...you went to town on yours, you should be proud!!
