Default Trouble light......

Don't forget that with the proper adapter your lighter socket can be a source of power for a trouble light.

Very nice job on the truck and the steering wheel.

here's an original photo of a german ford that i'm copying (for markings). this truck belonged to the 3rd panzer grenadier division. and is shown during the surrender at the Ruhr pocket.

finally got my 'new' used tires. their a copy of the war time pattern. my old tires were 6.50x20" and the new ones are 7.50x20" so i hope to gain a little speed too. waited years for these to become available. it took me about 10 hours to get them mounted and rolling. had a chance to try them out off road and they perform quite well. even had a chance to drive them on the road when it rained and i was happy. i think the tires are what i needed to make the truck really look the part.
