I like the antenna and the mirror brackets too. Did you paint or chrome those parts after making them? It almost does look like chrome to me, but I can't tell for sure. Beautiful.

Thank You Nate.. The Antenna I did not have to do anything to just left it raw The brackets I used Duplacolor Chrome on them and the steps..

I have one question; what did you use for the mesh behind the grille? I have found that that mesh really adds a lot of realism!

Sweet rig, I can't wait to see some headlights on it!

Thanks much Bigrigger.. I am waiting on the clear lenses to come in I have alum trim rings for them the mesh is stock tamiya grill mesh painted chrome.. And this truck is a copy of a friend of mine truck but it is my personal toy not a customers..

Thanks for all the great comments guys..
