Not feeling tops today, so I thought I would close my eyes for a bit, then go up to the bench, but my buddy had to join me. 

That pic almost brought a tear to my eye. You are SO lucky to have a buddy that gives you that much love. And he/she knows you are not feeling well and is there to make you feel better. Lost my best friend 12 years ago and I miss her everyday. Nothing like a loyal caring no issue best friend. Very cool pic Gary. Love it.

Top drawer, Gary - that looks incredible and the colour theme throughout the truck will look great, too!

Finished up the light bar for the rear.

Really like the CTM lights - what are you using for the smaller, red lights?

Brian, it’s a combination of CTM 24166 kit and for the small marker lights, I am using the CTM lights mated to KFS 2000 chrome backers. The little marker lights just happen to fit the KFS marker light backs perfectly.

Quick mock-up of sleep/cab to measure up the headache rack. Will be an enclosed three door , same dims as sleeper (height/width) with light bar across the top and maybe a flashing yellow lights on top. then I can finish cat walk on frame. Got to go back and do the final adjustments to the rear fenders for alignment.

If that's roughly built I can't wait to see it finished! Looks perfect to me already! Awesome build, Gary!

[Pete68]

A eye catcher for sure.

little progress on this holiday. Got the sleeper modified and assembled, removed fake handles, will be using some PE handles. Need to find some cool cab marker lights. Had to make another bumper, broke the first one, will be mounting driving lights and turn signals in the bumper.
