Your lights are SICK!! Yet another thing I have not seen before, love that. This truck is looking great. Sorry to hear about your 1:1 Pete, but glad you got it sorted out. Best of luck with the new power plant.

thank you. so far so good with the new motor, had it programmed so we will see on the next run. if it is any where near the fuel mileage i had with the last one i'll be happy. but then again i did put 3/4 million miles before she let go.

its funny this came up, i did some work on mine tonight and i had to raise my 5th wheel too!

i just put apiece of .080 (i think) between the plate and the bed.

a raised 5th wheel is very common on flatbed trucks and heavy haul, i know alot of east multi axle trailers require it.

Nice build btw! like the black pipes!
