    The best part... My truck is already beat. so I wont have to worry about beating it up. If I roll it... I will just jack the roof back up and throw a new windshield in it. :D

    Check my build thread... :D Headlights mounted... :D

    I am thinking about taking tomorrow off to do more painting. :D

    I gotta repaint the cab. :( For some reason I guess the hardener gave the paint a semi-gloss look.

    not sure that I would wanna sell it. I have sunk a LOT of money in it with all the new parts. My plan is to get a snow plow for the front of it for next winter so I can make some money with it.
