I really like the color coded emblems with the pinstripe. That maglite mod is a good idea too. Nice truck.

Where would you have had the maglight? It doesnt get in the way at all and its original. Also the stripes and paint are all custom color coated to match. Thank you for being so honest though. To each his own.

Oh I guess I should mention that I live in CO so the deep wedgewood blue goes real well with the orange and my Denver Broncos License Plates. Way to big of a fan! LOL

I went to a automotive paint shop and had some made up in a spray can then clear coated it. It took forever because I did a few coats and had to tape all the letters off but it came out really clean.

when i saw the close ups of the orange i wasn't too keen on it. When i saw the overall pics of the truck though, i think it looks good. Makes it stand out without going overboard. Can never go wrong with a bedliner, coolant heater and a convienent maglight either

For the heater I just put it in a few days ago but already I am seeing a big difference, Before it took a while for the truck to warm up but now it takes about a third the time that it did. The heater was only 20 bucks you can pick one up at autozone or probably any parts store, then I just changed my antifreeze while I was at it. So far it was well well worth it. Lord of War and I are doing his truck next weekend.
