Just caught up with this video Driver. I’m just doing the big piece on the right cause mama busted the brake valve box. I found 3 different GPS boxes under the dash. They were all wrapped around peeled wires. Gonna take the light wires for the 2 extra gauges right above your radio and connect some floor lights. I like to do a pro job. Thanks for your knowledge. Laters

Hi, AK. Your truck is looking very nice. Yes, your new Company screwed up but then if you think about it, you got time to fix a lot oof the things that you needed to do. The chrome bits off your old hood you should put on the new one. It would look cool. Now you just need to fix the door. Your dash should have wood panels which would make it look fantastic. I would not paint them blue or whatever other colours, just leave them with the wood colour. Keep on with the great work, I can't wait to see you on the road again.

One why lost star? I have not heard good things about them. Though the sources could be biased, especially as lease drivers(obviously your a owner not a company or lease operator)... Second if it's all fiberglass it can definitely be repaired as long as it has its form and hasn't completely delaminated. I've seen boats with keeps that are completely snapped of be repaired almost like new. You do have to correct the delamination but otherwise fiberglass is repairable as far as cracks go I'd say as long as you have material to repair with. Third I would say definitely move those classic plates over if you plan on using that new hood. And I bet retro LED lights would look awesome on it to. Or even xenon instead. And lastly as far as the wiring goes some of them could of been factory plugs to allow for multiple options. Cuts down on cost. Totally agree if last owner did anything it should of just been changed out instead of adding splits

If you are truly good at working on trucks, go with that, you will make much more money wrenching than driving, and be able to work with a lot less government regulation and Bull Sh*t , a good mechanic is as rare as hens teeth, I have been trucking since 1978, there is always a need for a good mechanic.

Not that anyone will care but as a young kid wanting to be a trucker and follow my Dads footsteps really bad, my Dad still wants me to get tickets where if trucking doesn’t work out I can get a second option. So I wanna be a trucker for sure, buy either a 2000 Kenworth w900L or Freightliner Classic XL after I have my 2 year experience If trucking doesn’t work out I wanna be a welder. If that doesn’t work out I wanna be a Electriction
