Very nice Knoxville. Building a nice truck is like making a fine wine….it takes a lot of time. Gotta hand it to a guy that does his own work too!

Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. I really appreciate it! Hotrod70C10 - that is a Grant wheel. I used their standard installation kit for my year, but not with ease. I had to make a modification to the horn plunger they supplied, in order to get it to go together. Wasn't really difficult, just sort of a pain in the a$$. Their instruction sheet is a joke. But with patience and a little thinking, you can get everything to work. My horn works, and the horn button doesn't fall off. I have to admit, I thought a company that's been around as long as Grant, would have their act together better. Dave - it was great meeting you also! One of the things I like about our trucks is the really nice people you meet through the mutual hobby. Good luck getting your truck back together. Tim - you have a lot to do with my progress. It was the best thing that could have happened for me, when you decided to get into the parts business. It's great to have a local parts supplier who also really knows our trucks. And your help with a few hard-to-find used parts, has been a godsend. You're OK, even if you do live somewhere between the boondocks and the sticks!
