Petetrucker07 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 The mercury would look great and the wheel base is perfect for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 This is going to look good in these colors. I'd paint the sleeper cab the same color as the hood and cab. I like the 2 hole wheels too, they seem to fit this truck just right. Nice start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
