Thanks guys.After settin here lookin at the pics I'm thinkin of stripping the paint form the cab and bed.Didn't paint the marker lights,bed floor should have wood not blue :lol: and few other details I'ld like to do.One thing that I forgot to mention is the fan belt is actually masking tape I cut to width and painted black.Has a better apperance than the box plastic one does.

No need to strip the paint. It would be a shame to "deconstruct" your model!

The marker lights can simply be detail painted with a small brush, and the trim done with foil. Same with the bed floor... you could detail paint the "wood" with various mixtures of brown/yellow/red/black. or even use woodgrain decals to make the bed floor look like wood. All of that can easily be done to your existing model without "undoing" anything you've already done.
