Right. I don't think I'd like it, but without seeing it on a truck it is really hard to say.
I think what would sell better is a Raptor-like grille. Basically that one with FORD on it.

Just for fun, played around with similar grill, but with Raptor style lettering built-in.
This is their original pict (hey Gary, looks same as Big Blue  ):
 Curious, they do not show the installed grill, here is Phototshop result:  I played with some variations, if painted:

It does look a lot like Big Blue, but w/o the Warn bumper. Anyway, I think I like the last one best. However, Big Blue currently looks "stock" to the uninitiated, and that grille would give the game away.

 Okay, now you're talking my language. But I agree, the last one is my preferred too.

If you think about it, how many know that the 85 F250's didn't come with a solid front axle? The 86 F350's did. So from the outside you have an old truck that sits a bit high and has some nice tires on it. And a winch, and a tool box. So?
