Thanks N2TRUX!!
Thanks for posting the pics for me! Some day I'll get set up on a website to do that again. Back in the day I used to post videos for all to drool over. I used to shoot video with the camera mounted to various parts of my car. Everybody loved that, but I no longer have that ability.
 Bumpers? Actually, I've got paint/body work somewhat lined up (I hope). Figure I'll do it all at one time.  Notice the mirrors are missing. I had the Dumbo ears on there, but have a set of the small ones on the way - if the eBay seller will EVER get them to me.

Sorry man, not trying to be a critic but I guess it came out that way. Regardless the upgrade does make a huge difference....

I just bought this thing from a guy in Oklahoma that was literally using it on a farm. I've already found that he had FORD mirrors on it!
