A beautiful truck that looks 'just right'.
It's neat, and not in the least over the top into gaudy.
Very well done.
I too would be happy to have it parked in my driveway.
And I too have enjoyed following the build.
Thanks for showing it all to us.johnboy

Today was the Day ! I took the Truck for a ride. Went about 8 miles for a shake down run, all went well. Have to calibrate the speedo, top speed was 20 mph on the speedo at about aprox 50. Plan to keep doing short runs and checking for anything that might be going wrong, loose or need adjusting.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
