Jamie-

I received mine in the mail today. I took me all of five minutes from out of mailbox onto truck. This dome light is the best! :thup:

Thank you again for all the hard work you put into these.

Have you thought about a grill? :wink:

A grill? Actually yes, but I don't have a way to anodize exterior parts. I'm still working on getting a mill for the garage, be patient... I have been tinkering with the radio bezel for my double din CD player and if it works out I'll fab up some aftermarket CD player holders that mimmick the factory bezel and I've been playing with the idea of a trim ring for the factory 4 speed shift boot.

I'm glad you guys like the bezels. I'm working up the next batch now. I'm changing the programs a little so I can make them differently, hopefully with an easier to polish finish cuts.

It will be awhile before they are worthy to wear such nice dome light covers.
I am still trying to get the 3g install done on the 4x2 so maybe I will put one of the covers I bought in it. The 4x4 is down to the frame now. Cab will be headed to the scrapper soon as the snow stops

Wow, that actually looks really good installed. I'm impressed.

I've spent a couple hours after work this week making up the next batch of bezels.

Got mine late last week...I am most impressed! It looks awesome!!!

As I was holding it up in place, an idea came to me for a possible next part. My camper special seat has a small "emblem" (for the lack of a better term) in the center of the back rest part of the drivers side and passengers side of the seat....Do you have any idea what I am talking about?

Anyway, I think it would be really cool to have it in the same beautiful aluminum finish.

unfortunately I won't be in the shop until next weekend, but does someone have a picture of what I am talking abou?

Thanks again for an awesome part!!!!

I know what they look like for the fairlanes, but not the trycks. Take some pics and do a drawing with dimensions and I'll see what I can do.
