That's an awesome truck! I actually like the look of deep wheels and factory hubcaps, that's the first time I've seen something like that.
This weekend I'm thinking about modding my factory AM/FM radio and HVAC controls to have red backlighting. I'm already halfway to converting my radio, I've removed the little blue-green plate behind the radio faceplate, now I just need some red duct tape and I'm done with that. lol.
The HVAC controls will be a bit different, since I'll have to separate the two parts of the faceplate, remove a blue-green plate and replace it with red tape. But ctubutis has done it, so I know it's been done.

LOL... Well we don't have part's swap meets around here... So I just buy extra trucks... The 3 in the middle are the running ones. The 2 outside ones are parts donors that will be going to the scrap yard soon... Either way I feel right at home as soon as I pull in the drive every night...
From Left to right I paid $200, $600, $180, $1, and $240... So for 5 trucks for $1221 isn't bad I don't think!!!!
