I have always liked your wheels, Steve, but I like that headache rack even more! That is really nice. Did you make a die to bend the reinforcing ribs on doors on the cabinet like that, or just wing with a sheet metal vise grip?

Looking good Steve. You'll find even a 10k spindle feels way to slow at times... mine is anyway.

That headache rack is a real big ticket item. I wouldn't mind one of those on a future truck.
