What does a man have to do to get their hands on one of those grilles?

Better question is why would a man want one. I can't see that turning out good.

Pretty sick stuff. Keep it coming.

It should look like one of these.. can you spot the real one. And the other is Photoshop

That's a pretty unique look, I feel like using the 6500 fenders with that grill it could turn out ok.

The top one is the real one after some research. I want one of these trucks lol I've never seen one of those before.

Top is definitely real. Bottom ones fenders don't quite line up

There's 2 hood-fender lines and they didn't change the passenger side headlight lol

They use the same fenders. The only difference is the grilled, fender extensions and the front bumper


Which one do you guys like. I like the lower one because it looks more like a Kodiak but the top one would be easier to build
