Holy Cow I'd hate to turn this beast around.... How's that old trucker's song go?... Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around... I was nosing around on truckpaper and saw something close to this and might try my hand at a monster like one of these...After all if you don't have to buy the fuel for it then it'd be awesome have right?

The lights i am getting are from Plaskit. They are chromed resin cast lights of the ones in the Cando Stepps Towing Pete wrecker kit. M119A set of 20 chromed resin cast lights. $10.00 a set. plaskit_resin@yahoo.ca ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Was going to get these from KFS, but didnt feel like dealing with all the paperwork just to order from them.

Was going to get these from KFS, but didnt feel like dealing with all the paperwork just to order from them. Hell those lights would be well worth dealing with the paper work to get them from Howard. I have some round one and they are awesome. Also I think these would enhance your rig more than the re-poped can-do wrecker lights.

Need to order the ones for the trailer. Plus the KFS ovals may look better on the truck compared to the old school lights, but the ovals wouldnt fit the trailer well. And to be honest after dealing with Dan (DMTW) i didnt feel up to the hassle of ordering from England. If i could have just ordered online and paid with Paypal or Debit card, then probably. But having to print out an order form, a form to export the items to America, fill them out, mail them to them, deal with the bank charges to use a debit/credit card oversees, and any and all customs hassles, i think i will pass at this time.
