That looks fantastic! Great color choice, and the added color on the locker box is a nice touch.

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?

Thank you,

Jim

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
