I just didn't think the red inners went with my "theme", whatever you call it. Anyway, I chose not to because I have a weak under the top power plant and nothing special stock engine. Don't really want to draw attention to the engine bay.
Your truck on the other hand has a high power engine and cool tranny. I think the red inners look great BTW.
Looking forward to updates......
Yes, it is getting harder to find. I was tempted a couple of times to buy a compete truck just for the front end but knew I would have paid to much.

I have been wanting to paint the inner fenders and core support same color as the truck but it's nice to get it confirmed with your opinions. I think I may have them powder coated black first and paint the engine compartment side of the inner fenders red so the tire side will keep the stock look. The PC will resist rock chips better too.
