Loosing those long running boards along with the LTD wheel covers would help its looks a lot. White painted wheels with the shiny stainless dog dish hubcaps would look better. I had a '78 short box reg cab F-150 4wd with that style wheel. Looked OK when every other truck had 8-spoke wagon wheels. The '87 short box reg cab F-150 I traded it in on had 8-spoke wagon wheels from the factory.
One thing about Ford trucks, their rust proofing kept getting better with each passing model year. My '78 had holes I could stick my fist thru by 1982, 4 years. My '87 got a free FORD paint job about 1993 from pealing clear coat and silver paint, but really didn't start bubbling the paint till '96, 9 years old. My '96 has NO bubbling paint and after being my daily driver for 12 Wisconsin winters and 21 birthdays and 305,000 miles that'S surprizing. It's all because I had it rust proofed, paint protected, and Scotch-Garded at Auto-Armor. It beats Ziebart, and any other rust proofing any dealer offers. I've had two other cars treated and one didn't have any rust after 12 years and 205,000 miles, other car has no rust after 12 years and 145,000 miles and has only been washed ONCE in all those years.
The new trend is to put flat black painted wheels on vehicles, "Murder them Out". NOT attractive! Wheels are supposed to be shiney.

Today's Featured Article - The Mud Daubers and the Old John Deere - by Jon Zehnder. I have a 1941, John Deere Model A tractor I have owned for about a year and a half. This is my first (in case my wife reads this, "FIRST") tractor and it has been a learning experience. After considerable advise and assistance from local tractor nuts and the forums of Yesterday�s Tractors, I had finally got it running pretty well. I have tuned it up, overhauled the carburetor, installed a borrowed, rebuilt magneto, installed a new Power-Trol, patched the radiator, installed new front wheels a
