    Welcome aboard,neat truck, looks like your apprentice dog is waiting for his next task. He or she probably deciding on how you are going to lower the truck so that it will be easier for him/her to jump in for the ride.

    Just had another study of your pickup, and isn't surprising how much one doesn't notice important things first time. Like the ladder leaning up against the fence, is that to be modified and attached to the rocker panels so old farts like me can look in. The number plate really suits the description of the pickup also. And lastly, that little plastic bike for when the oil needs changed or any other under vehicle maintenance. Oh also offcourse I am abit cheeky. but I do like the five aviation clearance lights for low flying aircraft. Seriously now, I do like it and as both Dave and Lamin8r have commended, you are starting with a good solid foundation.
