As long as the road is dry........I will drive. I coated the whole bottom of body and inside fenders as well as inner fenders with corrosion protection to keep the salt and sand from bugging me too much

Extremely nice job. Great choices throughout.

But don't forget to finish this off this sweet part, Bro:
I'd go either black...or the original brushed... for the sides.

But here's the orange.

Actually it is being rewrapped in the black ostrich like the console sides. The whole gauge assembly is getting done. So yeah I guess someone was right......never truly finished.

Very nice truck. What radiator top hose did you use.

Truck turned out really nice. I'm curious as to why you felt you had to keep the cab lights though. Not much else remained stock but you felt they should stay? Nice truck despite the lights.

I'd like to know if you built the console or where you got it?
tks

the cab is factory lights, which has the flat top mounting molded into the cab. I was tossing the idea to remove completely or even switch styes to lower profile. But only way to do wither was to fill holes and then leave a funky looking light mount bump out or look at completely cutting and replacing the front roof lip to a rounded non-mount design. Plus at night the lights do look pretty cool.

I built it from scratch. Used 3/4 fiber board, wood glue, and screws. The cup holders are stainless steel marine cup holders. They also came in black plastic.
