That'll look good with the lights recessed/hidden into the rail. Are you going to do the same on the front corners with amber lights?

Yep, all 4 corners.   I debate about addding side markers/signals below the rail like below so they are visible to vehicles on the side, otherwise I have ZERO indicators on the side of the truck.   That litterally might be a build day decision.

It might be a good decision to put something around the lower part of the bed. Make it look tougher.

Light 'er up like a Christmas tree, with a half dozen lights down each side. 😁

I'm not a packer fan drinking paint thinner!  :)

 When he finally leaves for paint I will be building the running boards as well as the "saddle tanks" which will really be batt box and tool box.  See below....grey will be black in final paint.

With a potential "fleet" in the que, I'd suggest matching colors.

Solid color or metallic?  Solid color would be more in line with it's origins, metallic would give it a more modern look.

Sadly I said goodbye to my shop manager Puma.   She was with me almost 100% of this build.  RIP Pumers

Aw, man. I'm sorry to hear that. Bummer. 

 

I'm glad that I got to see her one last time this summer. 

 

She had a good run, and was a good kitty.

sorry to hear about Puma.  The time we got to meet Puma we could tell she ran a tight shop operation.
