It might just be me, but without the taillights and tailgate,
something looks off about that truck. Granted, you can't go as
extreme if you have to leave a little bit of the bed behind the tires
for the gate and lights, but I think it looks a bit goofy. Might as
well just pull the whole bed off at that point, or turn it into a
buggy. :-) IMHO, if you can bob the bed and still keep it looking
like a Dak, that'd be pretty cool.
