Thanks guys.

Trucker_Jo, That looks to be the same basic truck for sure! The nice thing about building a truck like this is that not one of them came out of the factory identical even if they were ordered together. I can build whatever I want within reason and it won't be wrong!lol

Greg, The plan is to go with M&B colors. The only problem is trying to get the correct color red. I wanted to get a lot of this powder coated but I don't think I will get close enough on the color. Even to find a rattle can is going to be a challenge.

I spent hours on this again today and made a bit more progress. I finished the under side of the box and wired it, mounted the air cleaner, and did a few other little things that haven't gone on yet.

The air cleaner is held on with a bolt from the backside but I made up these little straps to make it look like they hold it on.
