Nice truck. He needs a horn button....LOL
Reminds me of the diesel 56 we built a few years ago. The diesel sounds great. My buddy still wants to yank the yblock out of my 56 F600 and install a cummings in her. I might some day, My buddy installed diesels in the bed of a 70s chevy truck once and also built the first diesel blazer in the early 80s. We drove it to Syracuse,New York and back for a hot rod show. It was so damn loud, it would shake the pictures off my walls...LOL

stars on emblem

OK Boys, here is a history lesson:

Brazil's flag has 5 stars on it scattered across it sort of like they are on the emblem. Their colors are green and yellow and that is the color of the emblem....

that's all! Thank-you!

uh-oh!
I need to make a correction! There are more than 5 stars! read the following about the flag and my mistake!
Brazil's flag is a deep green banner with a yellow diamond enclosing a night-blue, star-studded Southern Hemisphere sky. The sky depicts 27 white, five-pointed stars (one for each state and the Federal District); the stars are arranged in the pattern of the night sky over Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889 (this is the date when the last Emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro II, was deposed, and the republic was proclaimed). The stars in view include the constellations Southern Cross (also called Crux), Scorpius, Canis Major and others. A banner across the sky reads, "ORDEM E PROGRESSO," which means "order and progress" in Portuguese.
