The ones on the roof are from the tamiya tundra kit with the yellow lenses instead of the clear. I put 1.5mm yellow miniatronics LEDs in them and it worked quite well. Do you like the rims Mack Daddy? Lol, I think they are perfect for this truck thanks again!

This is what I would have to say is the grass roots to trucking this is where it all started with the old Fords and GMC trucks and you hit the nail on the head with this one, My Dad had one of these same trucks when I was growing up he bought it new and was still running it up to about 8 years ago when he bought a new Peterbilt 300 series truck to replace her and he still says he wished he had the old ford back.... He said the old Ford was the best truck he had ever had but it was time to let her go but he will still have the memories of her. I showed him this thread last night when him and my mother stopped by and he loved it... he said your build brought back her memories he seemed a little choked up after seeing your truck. Great job love the truck and you made one old timer very happy to see her again even if it wasn't the same as his Rose as he called her very nice thanks for sharing!!!
