I know, stupid things are $50 for a new set too, I'm sure I can fine one off a scrapped truck though.

I'm sure I have one lying around that I could send but I am in Canada and shipping would be a pain. Lot's of guys on here would have them too. Shoot a PM to Rich (77&79F250) - he IS the parts guy.

What do you think Celtic, keep the same color scheme on it and try to stay as much original as I can. Maybe put a two tone on the side also instead of just on the roof. Or go with a fire engine red and black interior. I am also planning on a stake flatbed with wood rails. I am a visualizer and need to start seeing all this stuff before I work on it..lol

Call me boring, but I usually prefer original. However ... two tone would look great - painting below the dent to match the roof would look sharp. Use Google Images to find ones you like or use photoshop to tryout a few options.

I really like original also. This truck is repainted in my trucks original color codes. I was thinking of adding the two-tone along the side and wrap it around the back since I wont have a bed on it. I wonder if I could get custom trim to wrap all around the back and just continue to follow to the other side in one big circle.

38 gal tank in a crewcab?

Do the 38 gallon, behind the axle tanks fit in our trucks or is mine just weird? I just got mine from rockauto and there is no way that this thing fits. The tank is 34 inches wide but I only have 28 inches between my frame rails. There are also two crossmembers that will need to be moved in order to fit the tank.
