Default Racer back, yes or no?

So I'm thinking about buying a lund racerback for my truck, here's a pic of my truck. do you guys think it would look good or not? I'm thinking one of the Lund ones that screws to the cab and has the small spoiler. It will be painted body color and the lighter lower body color in the depressed areas. Thanks fellas!

I'm a much bigger fan of the look of a headache rack, but to each their own.

Doubt it will be made in the 8 ft bed length and just a bunch of other factors come to mind like cost, bed width ect...

I think it looks better without. That style truck looks great just the way they are. Nice and tough looking.

Junkman, I applaud you for asking our opinions but it is your truck, make it how you like it.

.....but since you asked, That Lund racer back has always looked silly to me. It looks better without it. A clean headache rack is a much better look if there must be something behind the cab.

I'd vote no. Especially because you'd have to drill more holes in your roof.

i could think of 10 things your truck needs and that’s not one of them.

I don't like it at all. Looks plain silly.
I bet Lund is having a hard time getting rid of the 4 or 5 they have left over from 1978.
Oops, sorry, didn't see that this was an old thread and I can't find a way to delete my message....
