I also painted my visor with silver metalic basecoat and cleared it also......I replaced my windshield (rock chip and leaking)and both door windows(scrached from sand) also replaced all the window rubbers on both doors. and painted my ladder racks.....now i can start to take my old body off and prep and paint the cab,,,,

Looks good man .Keep up the nice work.Got a question for ya if you dont mind.I noticed in one of your pics your truck has electric fans?Care to share some info on that set up?
Shure the truck has 5 fans 3 are cooling 1 is for the AC and the last one is for the trany cooler, the 3 cooling fans are controled by a ajustible fan controle relay that sends power to 3 40 amp relays that opperate the fans, I also have a manual over ride switch in the truck.... The AC fan runs whean the AC is on.... and the trany cooler fan is actavated by a switch in the truck....thay have been in use for 2-3 years with no real problems, I didnt have the over ride switch at first but I was pulling a excavetator on a trailer up a big hill on a 90+ degree day and the temp started to get up thier so i put the switch in to put the fans on early and avoid any problems... I also belive my MPG is better and she heats up a lot faster here are some pix #15,#18,#19 are the fans and relays and #30 shows the switches
