Looks amazing! I had to Google search an image to see what mods you were doing. That looks kick a$$! So subtle and fitting without distracting from the overall feel of the truck! Like Foose says..." I want people to look at my cars and have to ask 'what did you do?' because my modifications look like they are factory made"
I hope you run with this!

Looks cool. What's the plans for the rest of the truck? Don't see many pt'd pickups. Slowly converting my 66.

I LOVE the lower half, but the grille area looks too busy. Either the bar or the park lights or something. Just needs cleaned up a little...less is more.
Anxious to see the rest tho!

i agree with you guys it does appeal to the eye , but i also want to make it funcional , i also agree witht the grill being busy looking so ill black it out or think up of another idea , well as of now the outlook on the project is looking to be a satin black on black with red intereor , but the progress as of now is im finishing up the rust that it had , future plans : either aero wheels and many carbon fiber peices

I went a little different route with my 57, but it is a PT build. I like where you are going.

The bar needs to go. It just clutters the grill area.
Maybe the park lights need to be smaller? But I would like to see I pick without the bar first.
I have always liked the way the park lights off the 58 impalas look, they may work? Lots of stainless and two nice sized lenses.

L-Diablo, Sorry I'm so slow to respond. Here is a couple of links for more pics. Keep at it.

I really like the Apache. The quad headlights set if off nicely. Like yours, too, Mike. There's a few Apaches for sale in my area.
