      Just one small logo somewhere is enough. Otherwise it looks like something from Roland Sands....🙄

    so great to see you driving this little beast at long last... You've built an exceptional truck and i wouldn't change a thing... as i see from other comments, the mudflaps are a nice way to tie up the back end of the truck, if you wanted to add anything back there, maybe your logo, but all in all it's so tidy the way it is... thanks again for sharing this build and we all look forward to what comes next.

    @markbrown6236 Місяць тому +2

    Truck turned out great. Good job Debbie with all your help. I'm sure you did much more than we saw on the video.
    Mudflaps look good because they are not too big. Lights on the bed also a nice addition. Trick front bumper is trick.
    Spikes, meh it's your truck, run what you like. Your style is unique and you are a master fabricator, it's a pleasure to watch your videos.

    I think some of the orange lights on the front of the top might look pretty cool too. The little orange lights that are on some trucks and big rigs. There's like 3 or 4 on each side center of the windshield. I've seen them in orange, white or clear, maybe you could find some old ones 👀👍😍🔥

    • @jes8288

    Dennis, you are a true artist and craftsman with skills far beyond a mortal man. This truck brought back some distant memories of my childhood in the 50's and 60's. I remember seeing trucks with manual turn signal arms mounted on the driver's side cab. They were metal arms about 18" long with reflectors. These would be a great addition to your COE. I also recall round turn signal lens that had an arrow blacked out on them. You didn't put any stake pockets in but I think some 12" to 18" side boards with slats far enough apart to still view the bed would add some balance between that big cab and the this thin bed.

    YES, YES ,YES. The truck looks Amazing Dennis & Debbie 😅 the mud flaps are just right, the plate👍l would like to see a heavy chrome D T R logo on the bottom of the mud flaps, there needs to be some weight on the bottom of the flaps so they don't curl❕️ The truck would look cool with a flat black wrap, aka " two lane- the 55" it would be nice to cover the bed, even Nolan had to rub on it❕️😂, like a stretch on Tanoe cover? A red colour like the interior, only that boat cover stuff.😊. Good luck.
