Great looking truck and I really like the country around there. Both really look good.

Great action shots. Blue looks right at home on the job. Nice to be able to get so close to the wood.

Are they newer bulbs or more like the headlights?

Backup LED!

I got the backup light mounted and wired to a toggle tonight. I added a red LED above the toggle to indicate the light is ON to help me remember to turn it off in the event I forget once moving forward. Very happy with the coverage! The LED I chose has both flood and spot beam so it lights a full 180 behind and beside the back of the truck! This is so good, Red will get one too!

LED lights are very impressive. I added a LED light bar on my quad and it is so much brighter than the original head light.

Fuel filter

I had to change my fuel filter and clean out the carb today. I knew that I would go through a couple filters so its not a surprise. This truck sat 15-20 years before I started the build and I could only clean out so much...

I dont know if these pictures do the backup light justice but lets try.

The dreaded day has come! I still need to install the passenger door seal. Door removal is plenty difficult because of the door weight but also protect the paint!



Letting the seal adhesive dry fully before I put this back on

Out of service until I get this covered

An opportunity to get a interior shot with the door off

That is probably the brightest set of backup lights I have ever seen on any vehicle!

That seat really came out nice. Is it easy to slide in on?

Thanks Steve. The seat is velour so sliding takes a little effort but not bad- no sliding around in corners!

With all the potatoes I have eaten in my life, I don't slide around too much on corners either. LOL
