You want one of the 3 med sizes. 800x500 seems to do best

Great Looking truck, nice color selection too. What rack is that, or did you make it?

That headache rack is built by Semi Joe’s. Not sure if he’s still selling them.

Very nice looking truck! :)

Re: 1985 Peterbilt 359 exhd build
 

Sweet Ride .. What lights did you use down the sides .

Re: 1985 Peterbilt 359 exhd build
 

If you mean down the air cleaners, they are just 3mm amber LEDs.
The under cab lights are from Garden Trucking.
LEDs in the bumper are again just discrete 3mm LEDs all wired together.
About a 100 LEDs in all ;)
