Aesthetically for me the Ford lights win Safety wise the position may be an advantage. Eye level instead of looking down.

Either the Ford lights or my trailer trash lights would be about the same eye level.

Interesting concept. I think I would be worried that they're not visible enough. Like you said, maybe the LED factor improves it enough to be functional
Who could possibly catch you? A coupla snails....maybe some nitrous.
I've never seen anyone drive over their own crankshaft, but I think you can manage it.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

I've seen stuff like that before. As a matter of fact, my buddy does all the fab work for another local company that would be a competitor power wagon builder to those guys.
I love it but I wish they didn't do the modern interior

Yeah if I were going to run fenders the rears would be open like that.
Recent research has revealed the bed I have is not a D series bed but rather a K/KB (40's, newer). I'm not sure if the D series fenders I have are a direct fit (the mounts didn't look like they lined up well)

Short beds are also a no-no for me and the way too modern interior, killed it for me
