    WARNING: Retro chrome is coming back. I remember wanting an Eddie Bauer F150 with the two tone paint job years and years ago. Just love that style. Then we had the blackout look that I found revolting, black plastic everywhere. Now we have the color match of monotone dull cars; I'm surprised we don't have matching tires by now. And now it looks like chrome is finding its place again and people are paying in the neighborhood of 9g extra to get that retro look applied to their new F150. Classy, I think. :D

    Anyone else here remember that style fondly as I do?

    Chrome hood bulges are going as cheap as $40 on the Denver Craigslist. Chrome grille with surround...$100.....and that's too much.

    Going chrome with super thin tires and a giant offset, all that chrome window and door trim, the giant chrome mirror that takes up the entire headliner, a big chrome car club thing in the back window, chrome exhaust tips and neon lights under the body.

    Do you even chrome.

    There’s good retro and bad retro. Stranger Things is the former and the chromed out Ford is the latter

    Keep in mind...the "chrome" hood bulge and grille w/surround ain't nothing but cheap plastic. Nothing like real metal chrome plated steel like they used to use....

    I was talking to my buddy tonight and we were saying a restored square body or OBS ford in the next few years are going to be insane price for a quality 4x4.

    Mine goes historic next year so it’s going to have some big changes and the new Tundra will be full fish/camp truck for trips

    Your buddy is correct. I wish I still had my 69 Chevy reg cab short wide box 4X4. Huge $ right now. Even 2wd versions bring premium $. Who knew back then?? Heh....heh
