Merle Coggins Posted October 17 Report Posted October 17 (edited) 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? Edited October 17 by Merle Coggins Quote

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. Quote
48Dodger Posted October 17 Report Posted October 17 It might be a good decision to put something around the lower part of the bed. Make it look tougher. 48D Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 17 Report Posted October 17 Light 'er up like a Christmas tree, with a half dozen lights down each side. 😁 1 Quote

See below....grey will be black in final paint. Quote
48Dodger Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 Red? Maybe yellow with a hint of safire blue.....or maybe sunshine tangerine orange! 48D 1 Quote
Dave72dt Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 With a potential "fleet" in the que, I'd suggest matching colors. Quote
bkahler Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 How about thinking outside the box....passionate pink.... 1 Quote
Dave72dt Posted October 22 Report Posted October 22 Solid color or metallic? Solid color would be more in line with it's origins, metallic would give it a more modern look. Quote

ggdad1951 Posted October 24 Author Report Posted October 24 Sadly I said goodbye to my shop manager Puma. She was with me almost 100% of this build. RIP Pumers 6 Quote
John-T-53 Posted October 24 Report Posted October 24 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. 1 Quote
tom'sB2B Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 I'm sorry to hear. It's always hard to lose a pet. Especially a good cat RIP Puma Quote
Lingle Posted October 25 Report Posted October 25 sorry to hear about Puma. The time we got to meet Puma we could tell she ran a tight shop operation. Quote
