Right now the truck looks like this but with the bed rail things attached.


Style A

This is missing the running boards, mud flaps, and fender guards. The bug shield and dog are also not included.

Style B

The last two years I showed it like this and took runner-up both years.

Style C

So, let me know what you all think, style A, B, or C?

My Favorite is B but that doesn't mean you should show it that way. :) I just think it looks most redneck and I like that. :)

You should show it in style A....So far this year out there, the cleaner the truck, the more votes...

It seemss that people are sick of seeing things overdone, and the better they look, and the closer to original they are, the better people like them...

You should race it too this weekend, its not too much extra you know.....

I would say C... looks modified but not too modified :). But who knows, you got a kick-ass trophy last year with how it looked then, so never know :).

I vote for C...minus the fender flare thingies.


On that note, I had a successful season with the Mercedes. I got a first place at the Exotic Car Show at Arapahoe C.C. and I won first place and judge's choice at the Mercedes Club charity car show.

I agree.

On a side note, I'll never admit I agreed with somebody that drives a Mercedes. :D

Thanks for all the feedback guys, unfortunately there were no trophies for me this year. Had a great time as always, lots of beautiful Ford trucks!

You werent awarded any trophies, but hell.....you drove a trophy there, and back. If my truck looked as good as yours does, id wake up every morning with an ear to ear grin....but i have a little smirk instead. I think i saw your truck in line, when i came down to buy my tech cards, the pictures you have make it look nice, but not nearly as nice as it actually is....

I think the fact that it didn't win anything has to do with how the show is judged rather than your vehicle. I thought it looked great :).

Personnaly, I think "c" is the way to go. It gives it some character instead of being so plain. But it is a very good looking truck.

I would also have to say "c" because not only does it give it charactor, but it shows just how much shine yer chrome got.
