They sure do. My wife Is starting to make fun of me for looking at it too much.
I think we have conditioned our selves to ignore the crappy paint on these trucks

Hey, seems awhile back you were going to get one of those earlier hoods, the bird bath style I think it was called. Did you not ever find one?

No I didn't have a way to haul it home. Now I am not sure it will fit with the new crossover. I will have to do some measuring. If it will fit I still want one

I had not thought of that. I was running my birdbath hood with my 89 motor and the stock cross over tube, and it was tight. I would suspect that it will not clear that new cross over.
