Nope Ben I just did not have the time so a buddy of mine that owns a body shop finished the cab I did the frame and gave him the paint for the rest and Mike did a killer job..

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"

Looks killer with all those lights...Very nicely done...

Have you thought about changing out the super white led headlights to a yellow glow led...it might make it look more "old school" or are you sticking with a more modern look....?

Thanks much Nate.. LOL yeah that was the plan to get a bunch of picks of a bunch of my trucks out side this weekend but with a total of over 8 inches of rain this weekend and no sun ever that idea will have to wait till the show next weekend.

I'm mostly a Peterbilt guy, but always loved a nice A model. Truck looks like it could be straight from the 70s or 2013. I love that.
