Looking good Arioch! Man, that thing is old! I like the little pickup though!
I'd call you Probie, but now I'm more of a probie than you! I got 4 days off this weekend so I'll be building too!

Come on Arioch, ONLY 70.. I have more than that on half of one side of my truck.... Of course if you like wiring them up, I can let ya do mine...

How/what are you using to hold them in?

LIGHTS???? Now I see your only showing the bottom of the cab.
So...I'm going to have to guess the body work STILL isn't complete???
Now Ariocher,I could of built a real tractor in the time you spent slappin your **** on this build.What's this make it,3 years & runnin????
Now...to me,seems before we make it look like a x-mas tree,you MIGHT want to FINISH the body work & paint it! Or are you going to paint the light covers for some new style look??
& Rodney? You told me a year ago your striker was on tract? Guess he fooled yu!
Now I have to stick w/what I said over on the garden,"We're not going to live long enough to see this completed"

If i didnt seal off the top half of the sleeper there would be more. If you really want me to do yours i would, i like wiring. I just drilled a hole so the led sits tightly in there and when im ready ill glue them in with some silicon or super glue.

the body work IS COMPLETE. I would have showed the side but I took the pic with my I-Pod and the quality really sucked, ill take better ones today.Its primed and i figured i would drill the holes for the lights before i painted it. It would have gone faster if i could have worked on it more than just weekends

What size drill bit did you use for the 3mm LED's, I have found one that is just a bit to tight, and the next size up is to big. I would imagine if necessary one could use the former and then a small reamer to get them to size.

And no I was just pulling your leg. I have no problem wiring.
