I like cab lights, do it Dave.

I can't speak to lift gates, but Ford has been using aluminum skins on some of their hoods for years. I had a 2000 Ranger with an aluminum hood skin and have seen late 90's and early 2000's E series vans with aluminum hood skins, too.



the wife and I had a ,IIRC 1997 Taurus,which had an aluminum trunk lid,so they have been doing it for some time.

Buschy, the fords, and Rams for that matter have been using aluminum hoods for about 5 years.

Also, although not a Ford guy, I think I've seen cab visors on Fords as well as GMs. While this one's not a great example, I think they give a truck a little different look.

Regarding the cab lights, I agree that the clean look is nice, but this is a 70's 3/4 ton and as such it just has to have those lights.

1 vote for cab lights.

If he plans on selling produce out of the back at the farmers market, yes on the cab lights.

If he wants a badazz truck to pick up chicks, drink beer, and hang out with the boys marking tires in the corn field, no on the cab lights.

Keep the cab lights. No reason to try to look like everybody else!

People that don't like 'em can turn the other way.


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
