I'm sure this info can be found deep in a thread somewhere on this site, but I'll ask anyways. Where is the best place to get new front signals, side markers, and rear tail lights? I plan to replace the head lights with a simple Sylvania Silverstar unit unless there are better suggestions.

What a bummer, sounds like we have to modify kits that were intended for these trucks in particular. I am local to CPI in Houston, I wonder if I took them a truck if they would be willing to modify and correct the brackets for these trucks to offer in the future. It's a good thing that we are...

Understandable. I don't plan on trying to run the thing 65+ down the road all the time. I would like for it to do 55-60 when needed and I'll pick the slower FM and County roads to travel on. Near the house it should be fine to get me to the beach and back. I should be able to pick up a little...

Is there a recommended hitch mount that fits under the factory bumper so that I can retain the factory look and Pintle/Lunette setup?

Just a heads up for those that missed out on the P400's. Mod Mafia in the Woodlands, TX has a few used P400's for sale.

I know these trucks are only rated to tow 3,000lbs, but do any of you tow more than that regularly? I need to be able to tow my dirt bikes on the trailer for time to time and I'll exceed that rating.

Thanks for the heads up in regards to the alternators. I have been slowly reading through your build thread, it is quite impressive. I hope to do a quality restoration but I am not sure that I have the time or patience to take it to the level that yours has been done haha. I live in South Texas...

Are you certain about those being 285/85? I am not finding that ratio.

What's the biggest tire you can fit on these stock with the stock wheels?

It' a clean truck, 36K original miles, came out of Fort Polk. It needs new door lock tumblers, not sure what the standard protocol is there? I would like to run 35's, possibly 37's, any suggestions on the best lifts? What about 17" wheel options? Has anyone added air conditioning and if so are...

I am using a hard canopy, not the soft canopy. No need to worry about flex.

I'll have it in the garage so if I brush/roll it on I can keep it dry and climate controlled to a degree. I just might have to try this instead of spraying it.

Yea I guess I could buy/rent one and tape off all of the lights/reflectors and spray the entire thing. Is one gallon enough to get it done, canopy and trailer?

This seems like the best and most affordable option. I just need to find someone that can spray it on for me now. Thanks for the help!

So can any Sherwin Williams get the correct CARC and if so what should I expect to pay for a gallon of it? I fear that if I have color match stuff done it won't be color matched any longer in a few years when the trailer continues to fade and the canopy doesn't. I considered having the entire...
