Ken reminded me that my avatar is out of date...and that made me realize I haven't shared new pic of Yeller over here recently.  Anyhow, here they are.  It is getting closer to being fiished...finally.

i love that shade of yellow.  What year/application yellow is that?   It looks very similar to 1970 Ford Yellow that was on the Boss 302's w/ black stripe.

It is a custom mix yellow, part Honda part Dodge...that is all I know.

You guys notice anything else missing? ;)  (one of my favorite mods)

No visible bumper mounting hardware, or windshield wipers. I love the color, and those wheels.

No visible bumper mounting hardware,

ding ding, winner!  Had the bumpers rechromed after the studs were welded in and smoothed.  Like I said, one of my favorite mods


Thanks for all the kind words guys.

I would love to shave my wipers and just use rain-x I used to have a ranger with no wipers all I did was rain-x it. Im sure theres better products out there though.

I did that when I was younger and thought it was so cool until I got caught in a down pour and couldn't see anything. I quickly hooked my wipers back up. For a hot rod, who cares but if you're gonna drive it I say keep the wipers.

I was thinking stake pockets, I keep my wipers under the seat, haven't used needed them yet, I don't actually know if they work now that I think about it.

I have always thought that less is more when it comes to these trucks. since you are a detail kind of guy; have you considered white corner lights from an '80 or whatever year they started that? On mine I also replaced the screws on my side marker lights and tail lights to black instead of the chrome type. btw-that is one clean looking truck-nice work.
