Terry you have a beautiful truck. I really like the shiny bed picture in your gallery. Must have taken a lot of time to polish.

Terry, That truck is a masterpiece. I like everything you have done. I am going with the same outside mirrors. Did your mirrors have chrome plated hinge pins that were the right diameter for the hinges? I know you will be proud to show off your truck. It will take a while to get over driving it thinking about things we always think about. Good luck.

I really like the change to a late column and wheel. Is the front axle stock?
Nice bright red is as perfect as I've ever seen. Great job!!
