Re: Dutch 1955 build
That is cool. I love the embossing.
I think if it would be lighted, you might have a marketable product. |

Re: Dutch 1955 build
Ok, thats really cool. great idea, i have always been worried someone would shut my tailgate, not pull the knobs, damage the bed and that is a great solution.

Re: Dutch 1955 build
I like the SS knobs. I wanted to do the same for mine but I have not found/made a replacement yet. My knobs are black plastic so it is not too bad.
Nice work... Marc
