Bowtie468.... Love this A/C controller!!! I had a question..... Did you just purchase the controller or did you buy the complete system? (Since the controllers are sold seperately)

Beautiful build by the way!!!

your truck is super clean and bad a** do you plan on painting below the trim line to match the grille as well as the tailgate letters in white ? or just the grille the rest black? looks super classy this way and different than the norm. congrats on such a beautiful truck.

Thanks Keith , if my truck ends up half as nice as your rides, I'll be happy ! I've been handling all the assembly and fab work , but I'd like to give credit to Kevin Morgan of Ronnie's Collision in Natchodichis , La for the awesome paint and panel fitment !.

He's an outstanding paint and body man, but an even better man and friend! (I know that you know this Chris, but I just felt like he deserves some more recognition!!) Your truck will be on magazine covers when you are done!!
