Thanks. I saw that truck at a rod gathering in Lake Tahoe a couple years ago. I've never seen anyone else do it but it looks pretty ingenious to me. I'm thinking of doing it on mine but I'll use the kind that looks similar but has a barrel type key so it wont be as easy to crack it with a screwdriver. Can't fit them until after the truck is final assembled so it'll be through new paint. Hoping if i tape it and drill through the tape it won't chip.
