Plastic glue-on chrome grille helps it not look like a contractor or city truck. I'll probably paint the headlight surrounds white at some point.
Three tie-down rails from USCargocontrol.com allow quick tie-downs for kayaks, cargo, etc. The aluminum bed needed reinforcing underneath. I cut sections of aluminum L-channel to go between the bed support frames.
ARE cap. Love the side access and having the screened windoors. Interior height is about 4 feet throughout and the cap doesn't have the wedge look of the tallest caps.

I like that truck!
The wheels I have for sale would look great on her!
The chrome grill I mentioned is an eBay special costing $99. Even though it is supposed to just snap in place, there was always a gap at the Ford emblem, so I scuff sanded the inside and used plumbers ABS/PVC cement. Laid saran wrap over it, folded a packing blanket to form a thick pad (could've used a lawn chair pillow) and then very carefully nosed the truck up to a wall so the pad applied pressure overnight. Came out looking factory.
