Ouch there goes my "on the cheap" plan it ended up costing me the same amount of money, however on the bright side I got a nice new drill out of the deal.

Heres a pic of the brackets installed.
You were right about the colors. My sos said the same thing. I am going to repaint the orange and stay with sun yellow and black. anyway thanks for you comment and I hope that we can still be loyal truck builders. No harn No fawl
