Thanks Billy! You were one of the driving forces behind going this way too and I'm glad y'all talked me into it because I think it's going to look...
I am trying to figure out the headlight assemblies now. It took some doing to get the single assembly out as it was pretty rusty. I'm surprised...
It has been a while since I did an update on the truck but I haven't really done anything to it except driving it. I know there was a lot of...
