    That is a very cool shop truck. With the engine/trans combo it should be decent on fuel also.

    I am putting Cad lights in mine. Try taking the chrome off the Cad light, cut it shorter (about 1/8" below the lip where the chrome is) cut the center of the 54 lense the size smaller that the lip (using the rings in the 54 lense as a guide) and slide the Cad light in from the rear. It will be much shorter then. Leave the chrome off of course.
