Finally my truck is finished I have four parades to do this weekend so I had to take the last two days off work to finish 6 am to 830 pm yesterday and close to that today. The truck came from the GSA and the truck was the most beat up I have had so far everything needed to be replaced right down to the tool box the bottom was so smashed in you couldn't get your hand into it. Did the thing in digital camo my first so I think if there is going to be another I may do a little better job as for the fenders on the rear are the originals from the truck I cut two inches off the outsides for a more balanced look with the front. The 1102 trailer is pretty tough to work with just because of the way they are constructed I retired my old leslie train horn and went with a new Nathan K5LLA I think they sound better than most nathans I have a bad plug that goes into the turn signal flasher anyone with a scrap wire harness from a deuce I really need to buy a plug and splice it in I have no brake lights or turn signals now.

Nice looking truck Kevin!! Sounds like you are going to be busy this weekend. I might have a plug off the M211 that I had. I'll check. If I find it, and you want it, it's yours! Bet that horn is a touch louder that the other! LOL Is that the auxiliary air tank in the bed?

God bless,
Tony

Thanks for the thumbs up guys John your into the bigger projects now I think I will stay small its all I can handle anymore Tony the plug would be appreciated if you have one leave 3-4 inches of wire on it I don't know if the horn is louder than the leslie I really cant tell but the reservoir is an old thirty gallon upright compressor tank.

Yes Ryan that's the same compressor tank wreckerman I bought two 1102 trailers from Atlanta last year and had them picked up and stored in NC for free so I had him take the beds off the trailers and ship them to me and he kept the rest as payment for all he had done for me.
