Lovely work Gordon; very nice. So, what have you done lighting wise? I see the original lights at the rear, and two modern lights added to the chassis rails. And two small LED (?) indicators on the front bumper?

I have no idea what Dektred looks like, but I think your solution of a coating combined with sand is very clever. I see the truck also still has the Original ceiling lights!

Original mirrors seem very hard to find these days and the repro ones are becoming more expensive by the day. I have seen a lot of people using the cheaper "interior mirrors" (at least that;s how the classic car parts dealers call them) , but I have to say your John Deere solution is also a very good alternative....slightly larger than the Original mirrors, but still a similar look.
