who did your paint? I would love to do the same design except keep the black where it is and do lime green.Also what kind of puddy did you use?

Keith, this rig turned out perfect for sure. I love it:):cool:
Susan wants the same cab marker lights and no horns. Did you just add 2 more holes or did you have to map out and redo all the marker light holes?
And was it difficult to mount the air cleaner lights? I have a set from PMD and noticed there's too much silicone and the fit ain't the greatest. I'm scared to try and trim some of the silicone and not damage a wire:eek:

Mario, thanks for the comment. I just filled in the air horn holes and then used the stock five holes for the lights and added two more evenly spaced between the two outside lights. As for the air cleaners I to had to trim some of the silicone, just had to go slow.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine based on what I've seen of your rigs so far.

Just about finished with this truck, I added the Pete headlights from PMD, added rear fenders from John and a set of under step lights from PMD.

Thanks for the great pics of the lights and air cleaner:cool: I'm glad to hear its just a matter of adding two lights. Susan's new cab currently has no holes at all but I have a original body that I can make a template of the standard 5 lights and just add the two vs having to make a template from scratch:eek:
Thanks for the vote of confidence :). As I've said before, this hobby is a great lesson in patience, no rush. It's such a nice change from the demands and timelines of my work life:)

BTW... For the longest time I couldn't decide on mitered stacks and the turned tips like yours. I love my mitered stacks but those turned ones look wicked on yours! :D

That's one great looking truck! I really like the colors, and the finish is fantastic! Have you thought about putting in a wireless trailer lighting system like the one from SS-Tronix? Then you wouldn't need the plug in the back.

Pete, thanks. Yeah I ordered a set up the other day so I'll see how they work when it gets here, I especially like the wireless servo option so I can run my HTML dump wirelessly with my Pete.

Thanks for he input.
