very nice glad to see someone who isn't afraid of work you have earned that truck. One question though, what is that thing on the cieling inside the cab, it look like a strut tower from a car. Whats it for?

It does look like a strut tower. I thought it was a speaker bar thing like you see in the *gulp* jeeps... That's a good question, what's it for?

Looks like you have done a great job building a very nice truck. I'm sure it was fun and satisfying to do all that work yourself. Keep it up!
