That's beautiful! All it needs is a semaphore turn signal and rear duals.

One of the things that I think really sets off the beauty and simplicity is the absence of fender mounted turn signals.

Thanks, they look good on your truck. According to what I found on the web with those numbers and height, they are 8R19.5 tires?
Thanks again, Mark

I like them on the bigger trucks. My 55 F350 has them but the parking lights also flash. I took them off my 54 F100.
Edit: if I'm not sure which Meadow Green truck I'm in I just look for the fender mounted signals! LOL!

I left the fender mounted turn signals off of my F4 also. I think they look better without them and they can be miserable when working under the hood.

Jafo, I'm curious now. What are you using for turn signals? Did you incorporate them into the parking lights?
