Installed all the lights. Hopefully I'll get the visor from the paint shop on Friday so I can install it. It needs a visor!

I'm sorry that you aren't building a full size matching trailer. That said, you've done a fantastic job and your truck is one of my favorite customs. I've enjoyed the build. Thanks for taking all of us on the ride.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered them. I know it needs the visor but your slick roof looks awesome. I like the original aluminum low roof tops over the conehead ultra cabs

if yours swaped over i guess they must all be interchangeable. What visor you gonna put on? And your front wheels look more sunk in... were they like that before with the stock axle?

There is a good photo of the visor in post#59 on page 4. It is getting painted on Saturday with the rest of the stuff like the shocks and the lower exhaust support. The front axle is stock width. The darn truck is so low its playing tricks on your eyes :)
