I agree, the one Kelderman did looks pretty good.


But the older ones are by far the best looking (my personal favorite from Elite Diesel)

Anyone ever see national lampoons vacation. Remember the family truckster and those monster tall lights. I was always a fan of the ford look. Not any more.

Saw my first one a week or so ago, aside from the funky vented exhaust tip thingy I thought it was a rather nice looking ride. It had some nice aftmkt rims, two tone white/beige. Too bad it`s saddled with a 6.done-for

Yeah, I saw my first one today and I really did not like the look of it as well as the 6.0. It didn't sound that great either

I like the look of them, but with all the media exposure it's not going to cover up the ugly monster beneath.

I bought an aftermarket step and use it every time I get into the bed of the truck. It is called the Bed Hopper Tailgate Step. I use the post hole at the end of the bed as a handle.

Oh yeah, I am only 55 so not really that old. No offense taken it's just that I resemble that remark.

Went to the KC car show this weekend & Ford had a BIG presence. They had 3 Superduties on display as soon as you walked into the room. I have to admit that I liked the tailgate step, but after looking in the engine bay, I wouldn't touch that thing with your money!! But if you're in the market for a car, the 500 is a sweet ride!!
