How much do you want for the stock grille?

I think you and I are the only two guys on here that like this stuff

 

[blazinzuk]

That truck looks awesome. Good job

 

[BKinzey]

Can you say "WOOD" ? I knew you could!

$50? I think that is fair.

New list of exterior items still needed...

clear side marker lenses,
LED tail lights, preferably clears with red bulbs,

Here is a question... DO I go with a visor that has the roof running lights in it or is the visor a cheese ball move and should I just go with some factory style running lights? The current no lights at all is also welcome if thats what you think!

Ah now, there is a number of us that still like to clean up these old basket cases of trucks.

Can anyone guess what body/paint shop did the truck?

 

[dhcomp]

Don't do the visor. I say leave it as is, or add factory style running lifghts

 

[Zeus33rd]

Those visors look gaaaay. No JC Whitney trucks around here. The cab roof mounted running lights look awesome.

Thats what I was afraid of, exactly what I was thinking..."step away from the JC catalog and put the phone/credit card down!"

Anyone have a lead on factory roof running lights, but with a smoke or clear lense?

 

[Zeus33rd]

I think you can order those from LMC?

 

[rjfguitar]

I know you can get factory ambers, but not smoke or clear, IIRC.

 

[Zeus33rd]

You can order amber and clear kits from LMC.

I would go newer - like ones for a dually of the 88-98 vintage or even 20 & up - I know you can get those in clear. I haven't seen the older school ones in clear - you might be able to find something similar in a semi-truck shop

Here are some newer clear ones...

For fun....

Stage two, getting the truck ready for work, underway! Been moving tools over from my old service truck to the new one all day. This part is boring, laying rubber on the floor of the cabinets, organizing as I go through my old truck, building a new wrench and socket rack...

 

[beater_k20]

needs MTs...

 

[muddybuddy]

what a difference!
