Very nice!
 
Wow, it's surprising how clean that thing is. Nice work!

•Installed Hobbs retractable light in engine bay
• replaced reverse lamps with 8 watt Cree bulbs.

Would like details on these...

Where are you carrying your spare, with the air tank in the way like that?
 
Good looking rig.
 
First off thank you, it's been a fun project.

That was my bad it's actually a 10 watt, here's the link for more info. Basically just a much brighter light output then a standard incandescent bulb.

The retractable light in the engine bay is an ending light out of a 89 Chevy dually 1ton. It's made by Hobbs . It's a 1157 bulb that has a retractable magnetic base that unwinds & can stick anywhere on the hood then winds back into a housing I have mounted on the underside of the hood. I'll post a picture up as soon as I can.
 
What brackets are you using for the Recaros?

I'm using home made onea. the brackets that came with the seats when we got em in the 90s & the stock brackets fabbed with one nether so that they fit just ever so perfectly
 
I'm really liking those Recaros. I love my SR5 seats, but they are over 30 years old now (came out of my '84) and getting tired, so if I ever need to replace them I would consider those.
 
Thanks. I'm torn on getting my stockers redone or putting new ones in.

Very nice truck;)

Yeah if you can find them I recommend em! They are super comfortable & & sit a little lower then the stock ones

Thank you sir!
If your half way handy they aren't that hard to modify. I just used a vise & a welder. Few tries & it came out just the way I wanted
