$3 in imaginary money says that is going to his CB antenna.

Mine had a nice little hole in the front corner of the cab that was patched with bondo when I got the truck. The only problem I ever had was trying to keep paint on it. Of course, my drip rail is solid though. I saw an 86 at a car show over the weekend whose drip rail was split down the center, and half of it was resting on the windshield.

The more I look at the yellow, the more I like it. It kind of gives it that "hot wheels" or "rat fink" type of outrageousness that actually looks coordinated, not like pink and green hubcaps on a rusted out black honda civic.

Just curious if your top was repaired. It looks like a line above the door. If so, show some pics. I'm in bad need of some new skin above my windshield. Mine's completely rusted out.
That black line is ,y CB antenna cable. I am using a mag mount for my CB right now till I get a couple more permanent NMO roof mounts. On the stripes and such, I do plan to do that next myself. We shall see how it tuns out!

Looks pretty good. Does your truck have a lift? That's the look I want, and wanted to know if those tires rubbed at all?

Nope no lift and no rubbing anywhere. Luckily, Dodge trucks are high sitters stock at least enough for 31 10.5, 15s.
