I can't help but be amazed at how far we've come. I still remember when guys were just shaving the front fenders and putting on a set of Wedico double round headlights on their King Haulers to make a Peterbilt. Now there are fenders, grilles, wheels, steps, and a whole lot more. This truck shows what can be done. Awesome.

Lynn's bezels are awesome, but what he sells is a complete bezel/lense assembly. I'm not saying he wouldn't make a bezel to fit the PMD's lenses you already have, but the ones you see in this build are complete pieces. I don't think PMD's lenses the same size.

John, you out did yourself once again.:D If the truck had the right background, that truck would look real, and the lights look amazing. You keep on getting better and better. Keep on truckin'.;)
