One of the most beautiful trucks on here buddy. (My Favorite too!) Great work brother! One question, I thought your truck was a 78? Arent those the 79 headlight surrounds?

Truly amazing work. Inspiration for all, and a project we can all aspire to. Normally I like my trucks lifted high but the work you've put into this has been awe-inspiring.
