Some of the body work included removing all the side marker lights, saddle gas tank fills removed, front turn signals removed and installed behind grill and vents below front grill were filled in. Door vent wings removed and one piece glass windows installed.

Really sharp truck, but then again my opinion might be biased. I have been looking at that same steering wheel. Do you mind me asking where you got it?

The steering wheel is not shown in any of the pictures so I am a little confused?

Nice. I'm putting my skineys back on. Love the sign writing. The colour is just right. I'm a fan of this kind of solid statement.
