Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I agree with Daze57. That does look good. I bet it stiffens the hood up a small amount too. Good job, LDO

Pulled the old 250 out and put the new modified 250 in. Ran into a snag with the front cast header. Everything else is ready to go.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Half of the hub cap search completed. Got a set of 4 regular caps. Need to get two for the front with 4wd hub holes. Then will sell two regular I have left. Contingency plan would be to modify flat ones, but hate to mess up something that is in good shape.
