Thanks Man!! Someone said that I should slap a white star on the doors and the hood! Ive been driving her quite a bit now and it seems like the more I drive it the better it runs!

[lino]

Just lovin' it!

[alientravler]

Practical improvements are always Looks good, man.

It looks great Alien. But I must confess, every time I look at it I expect to see the assigned driver's names stenciled on the windshield and the unit info on the bumpers.

Im looking for the correct stenciles now.

[MetalFab]

that would be awesome. I love the look of this truck it's very clean ^_^ Any ideas on where those fender flares come from? or are they a stock thing? I bet that smoke stack sounds pretty crazy haha, and it looks way better now, still might catch some branches but I don't see it getting knocked off there half as easy as before. I've only seen them on diesel rigs until now

[alientravler]

Thanks Bro!! Im thinking about a flat bed now that Ive seen your 720!! Or maybe even a dump bed??

[MetalFab]

A dump bed would definantly be drool worthy! I have no doubts that these rigs can handle double their payload. I used to throw 20' 2x6 lumber all the way across my rig, and stacked 4 high, although she was a wee bit tippy on these mountain roads. Now! Find a dually axle and match the gears and you got yourself an economical rig that could take a yard or three of dirt, rock, soil, or your old bosses tools, and dump them just about anywhere

Just the thought brings a tear to my eye.

[Aven]

If memory serves, they were 3" letters, basic block style brass slip together stencils. We used the vinyl letters on the windshield.

[86_720]

just bob the bed like i did. i was plannin on going the same color. and the stars. i was gonna copy my buddys yota :0

[alientravler]

I might just do that!! BTW Now that I cut the exhaust pipe down it now sounds like a old army jeep!!! This was purely by accident I assure you!! My co-workers really get a kick out of it as most of them are former military folks! Some even remember the old army jeeps Im refering to!

[flinterman2000]

With the color and the exhaust you're half way there. I'm waiting to see the stickers to complete the deal.
