I'm glad you finally shaved the headlight buckets! That's one of the bigger changes that help make a KH look like a Pete. Very cool. Nice to follow the transformation all along the way. I also think it's nice you kept the stripes. Kind of like keeping some of the truck's origins.

Wow Paul, You did an amazing job. Wish I could be there to see it this fall at the show.

Fantastic job. I like how you nailed the proportions on this truck: not to long and not to short. ...that and the round headlights combined with the square bumper. Perfect!

Cheers

Pip

Hello Paul! I'm a newbie here. First off awsome truck! Did you make the deck plate. Also I see all these Pete emblems. I search every where for them. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction where to get them.

Thanks for the great comment.. The deck plate I did make it is just think Alum sheered and bent to fit. The pete logo you can get from garden trucking "PMD" I think they are 7.00 dollars each..

Well since I redid this truck almost 2 years ago now it has never been finished and the MFU went crazy on me so with some great help from Mr. Robbert we got that fix and I got my sleeper lights done and my light bar working it has 4 parking lights on each side along with 4 working break lights and blinkers. Sorry the video is a little tuff it is hard to run the cam and truck at the same time and make sure it dont go off the bench.
