Thanks Much Rod.. After going of the truck with my very good Friend Wade "ExHood" who also knows the truck and its owner we have decided to paint the steps and the tanks the same color red as the frame it will be a cleaner look. The only reason the steps are black on the 1TO1 is they are in rough shape so he painted them..

Thanks Much Marty! I am very happy with the tanks and yes the sleeper doors open it is a metal wedico sleeper..

Ok little update from late last night..

Did my drive line like I always do nothing really new there.


Also did my little trick and I think others do something similar so it steers alot better.




Then i tried to see if i could make my eyes pop out of my head and make a shuttered grill and it just about worked after a hour and a half..

Used polished stainless for the shutters I still need to clean it all up from my fingers.
