    I’ve still got to change those fuel tank straps because the hangers rotted. I’ve also got to change all the Brake lines just for safety. The T 600 it was a great truck so it’s well worth the investment, best of luck to you. I luckily have a spare truck that I use while this one gets done

    Finish painting the frame (if you didn’t do it already) and a nice single dark blue/green/black on the cab (or a more expensive color if you really want) she’ll look like a new truck

    @skallagrime Were you in Ohio this morning on 70? If so I moved over to let you on from the Speedway/GoMart exit 186. As soon as I passed I recognized the truck but forgot who owned it.

    Anyone have suggestions on trailer wiring splice and junction boxes?

    The 7 way boxes ive usef seem fine for connecting 2 wires, but try to run more and its too small.


    For markers along the trailer, anyone use something like these?
