janderson, I like elements of each one of the trucks. I really like the paint scheme of the second truck but also like the simplicity of the first one. I will probably take ideas from many sources.

I just checked out Poseidon. Great build. I love the detail you put into your rigs. My vision of what I want mine to look like is similar to what you have already built. Great minds think alike!
The IH grill on your truck made me think of my first truck, it was a COE IH. It was a little older (1985 ish) and raggedy when I got it. I had to keep a bungie cord handy and use it to keep the shifter from popping out of gear in PA on I-80.

I would hook one end on the edge of the bunk and the other end around the shifter. That highway was really rough back then.
Back to the topic at hand, it's great to see cabovers on the forum.
