Default My Needle Nose, Pete or KW?

Just started a needle nose truck, kind of 50's era meets modern large car custom. But not sure if it's a Pete or KW or something else, what do you guys think? I put KW steps on it but was going after a Pete design. Oh we'll, here it is.

I like it too, especially the color pops right out.just my opinion but could be my eyesight but i think the headlights might be abit to high for that 50's era pete. Its just my opinion.only i am not putting it down..looks great with the single round headlights

I want your flatbed... just sayin..

I think it looks great with the flatbed too!! I like how you have the top of the cab smooth with no defining separation between the cab and bunk. I say make the shocks black and leave the rails shiney!! I see a tri axle on the floor
