Yup, got one from @GA Architect as a matter of fact. Thanks!

It's been a long process, but I am listing this truck for sale. Thank you all for the kind words, help, and advice over the past three years. Hopefully I can find a new owner that will appreciate the level of detail I have tried to achieve.

That light fixture above the heater controls comes apart and the bulb is removable. I have the part if you need to whole deal.

Yup. Someone already notified me yesterday. I’ll straighten it out this morning. Honestly, every one of them I have seen was bent like that, and I assumed they were made like that. Ha ha.

Where did you find the corner rubber seal for the front doors? Are they from SOR? I assume you have them in both upper corners? Mine has daylight and leaks when raining, also leaks at center of rear ambi doors... Dot they help with that?

Also, what gray did you use for your heater paint?

Great build!

I got most of the hard to find door seals from City Racer. I got the pewter paint from CCOT

Just noticed some sort of sleeve on the hood prop. Black rubber? I have never noticed that on a rig. Is your hood prop painted or zinc plated?

 

[MScruiser]

My prop rod is cadmium plated. The black sleeve is a small section on marine heat shrink, and is placed on the rod, right where the rod sits in the under-the-hood holder. It’s there to prevent ratting, and to prevent the metal on the holder from marring the finish on the rod. Just something I thought of.

Don't forget to tell them I sent you - Get your $50 bucks and support the madness!
