    That color to me equals ugly other than on a vintage yamaha bike they had a similar color. That color does look kinda cool on some trucks when it has some faux patina and some rustic lookin pinstripes. That grille to me looks like crap on that truck if you like it you might as well have a chevy. The interior I like they atleast got that nice. I don't like it when people do a seat swap and they stick up well above either the rear glass or the doors that in my personal opinion looks like crap most the time.

    I'll pass.  
    Too much chop, makes the proportion all out of whack.
    Head lights, a big fail as is the color.
    The big Caddy engine is only conducive with cruise nights.
     The only redeeming factor might be a sound clip of the exhaust without a visual on the vehicle.

    My Great Uncle Dewey Norman had one of those and loved to  take us on adventures back in the 50's to places like Hell, West Virginia back in the hills over logging roads. I was 8 years old or so and it was the greatest of times. We would have lunches of tomato and cucumber sandwiches and think we were in Heaven. Almost Heaven West Virginia!

    Re: Funny looking f100

    Reminds me of something I read the other day.  It seems they were making 1967 Ford pickups into the early 90's.  Can't remember whether this was Mexico or some other South American country.  The body panels looked like a 67 but they had updated grilles and headlights.  I had never heard of this before!
    I wish I had copied the picture because I cannot find it now.

    Found it...

    This sheetmetal from 67 was used until 1992 in Brazil on the F100.

    In Brazil, the truck was an F1000. It was also diesel powered.
