    I wanted to make my truck look a little bit better, and replaced a few things, radio, cb, parking/trailer knobs, air vents, and added an outside temp gauge. Here's the picture. 20180609_165858.jpg

    I love my FLD, it is a great simple truck. C12 engine. This picture is from today, this Saturday morning, I took my big forklift to a job site. It was a permitted overweight load. 20180609_111736.jpg

    Looks like a very nice truck! Great high cab style too... The fuel tank looks huge on this one...

    OMG, that is huge.

    I forgot, also, the biggest thing I did to my truck, in terms of driveability, is I installed JW Speaker LED headlights. They have a heating grid also for snow melting.

    It is totally AMAZING how much difference they make for night driving on unlit roads. Just incredible.

    For convenience, the #2 thing is the flashing amber lights for oversize loads. I mounted them on my mirror frame and connected them to MIRROR HEAT.

    What's the cost for those headlights? I try not to do much night driving, but sometimes I think it would be nice to upgrade.
