Mondo,

How do you like the new headlights? I was looking at those also. My truck looks very simular. Your truck looks great.

Looks like the same red rcheesem (nice truck too).
I know red is probably most common and I didnt want to stray too far from something most like (including me). Will try something other than TT rims as I want it a bit different but still 5 spoke and hopefully chrome.

As far as pics of the turn signals, it will have to wait. The battery was drained during the 2 month stay at the body shop and is being charged. Soon as it's done (not at my house) I leave for Monterey and MotoGP racing at Laguna Seca this weekend. I'll snap some early next week.

Here's a pic in the sunlight, the smooth cowl and one of the gas cap. Pretty basic fuel set up... I have a tonneau that allows me to open the tailgate without opening snaps and I can fill it up with just the tailgate down.

shaved sidemarkers, bed rail holes
front LED turn signals in headlights (& LED taillights)
gas tank in back
shaved fiberglass cowl

going to grey interior as I already have grey seats, dashpad, etc.. will probably paint dash grey too.

Then some nice shiny 18in wheels and she'll be done... if there's ever such a thing

That thing looks sick dude! I think you need a good set of 20's......

lucky bastard... 3500 is a damn good deal, and your getting to watch Motogp.... DAMN YOU

Yeah, the last few days have been pretty sweet.... great race by the way

Someone asked for a pic of the turn signal... took a quick one (in the garage, not enough room to step back farther). Lights not centered in bucket but their the same on both sides so looks ok. You can see it's clear in the above pictures

Truck looks sweet!

I really like the location you put the fuel filler. I am gonna file that away. It doesn't look like it would be too hard to fab something up to cover everything but the cap.
