I'll admit I do like 2 headlights better, even with 4 eyes fridges still are cool. I like the Eddie Bauer package on the mid 90s F150s the not "overdone" 2 tone on them looks good.

ELpolacko's truck sure looks right to me. Comet's is going to look great too...

I don't see why quad headlights are acceptable on a car but not a truck. :?

I too like Edsels, they are like that ugly dog you just can help but like. Guess I should have used thisImage as the bad example

I think "ugly" has more to do with the overall lines and flow of a vehicle, not the number of headlights. If anything, the Edsel would look more odd with single headlights. Same goes for the Buick.

How many trucks had quad headlights from the factory anyway? Apart from 58-60 Fords, of course. 80's GMC's? What else? I'm curious as to which particular model set off this little rant... :lol:
