I love it
They are chrome 1/2 headlite covers...

Or,you could read all the suggestions and try those.It`s been well explained,I think,already.

Paint is over-rated! That truck looks great in flat black. Enjoy it!

Re: I had no other choice...

Just drive it! Looks pretty good from the pics- that satin black is starting to grow on me. I think you have a pretty nice truck!
Sorry about your daughter- is she going to be OK?
My very best wishes and thought for you and her.

Re: I had no other choice...

i love that truck. It is identical of how i would like mine to look. My goal is next summer so maybe during the winter i can get some satin black sprayed on my truck. But anyway when you flipped the rear axle to the top of the springs did you have to c-notch the frame or is there enough room for suspension travel that you dont have to?

Re: I had no other choice...

I took it for a short spin last night & cruised a little while tonight after it stopped raining. Those 40's drone BAD but sound sweet! I live in a small town & tonight every time I wanted to stab it a little, I could see the town cop on the other side of the block keeping tabs on the "new truck in town". I think he still remembers my last toy! He will slip up & go home for a while & Ill get my chance to true up the BFG's!
