Default something new for something old.

Ever since I finished this truck I always thought that the tanks were too skinny. They are the wedico tank. At the time this was all that was available. I had talked to Steve about making me some fatter tanks, and when he did my tanks for the silver Pete dump i had him make these for me. I had to take a break from worrying about this new house stuff and did some work in the garage. I added my tanks and finished the silver tri axle. Here are some pics. thanks for looking!

Tanks look awesome Brian, and I love the way you kept the hood rivets when converting the fenders. Great job, awesome truck.

New tanks look great. Love the grill. You've got to do what you've got to do to remain sane...you've been missed...All the best with the house.
