No, they don't. See the hood, and what a cherry tree did to my truck when I didn't put the brake on...that had been a virgin '67 grille before impact.

"After" is the shot last fall, the day after I finished the Rustoleum repaint (body only). I painted the roof white later that day. She'll be sporting stock white wheels and dog dish caps later this spring, and I'll sell the 10" wide 8 lug 16.5 wheels.

The replacement hood cost me $25.

I was loading a tractor on the trailer that was hitched to my truck and caused the whole mess to slide. :doh: My truck got into a tree before I could get it stopped. Less learned is to not try to load the tractor after being at work all night. :thup:

The good part is that I get to drive my F350 bump to work while the F150 is in the shop. :D
