Spider caps are cool. I would love a set. But to much money.. I bought the bullet caps for $29 with shipping and they look cool in their own way... Again I am working on a very limited budget..

So, where did you get the bullet caps, and how did you attach them? Been thinking about doing the same to mine....

Your truck is looking SICK!! Perfect stance...I dig the PBR stuff. The shift knob, the tool box, the key chain, I love it!! That's a good idea using the fence boards for the bed. I've been looking for ideas the re-do the wood in my '62 on a budget. I like the fleetside taillights too! Very nice!

Redsean, I know Dan.. He is a good dude and I love his style. I cant wait to catch up this summer can see what he will be working on next.

Underneath the fence boards was a painted to match plywood bed. I went so low on the static drop that we had to cut a hole for the pumpkin. Just in case I hit a big bump or had a small load. I screwed the fence boards right down on top of the plywood.. Cheap and Easy floating bed.

And for you HARLEY GUYS. If you like the Apes. I build them. We have a expensive hydraulic bender that we bought and bend/powder coat and chrome custom apes. Along with making custom other parts. Hit me up and I will give you the info.. They are strong/one piece and very affordable.

Thought you might like these too.. The mirror you see was my late grandfathers.. He put all those stickers on it back in the 60's. I have had it ever since I was little boy.. Also I collect Papst stuff.. These bar lights/old neon's were found in an old closed bar... I am thinking they are from the late 60's Early 70's.. Also the Papst poster with the ram on it is from the 60's.. Crazy stuff.. Think I have a PBR problem????
