Will, are you getting the fenders that have the vents built into the front of them?
I like the looks of the vents on them.
I assume you are going to white out the mirrors and the door handles too. A nice set of clear clearance lights will also look sharp.
I look forward to seeing the finished truck.

The guy at Chrome wheel is a DIK! I have bought two sets of wheels for 4500 GMC from him. He was the only guy I could find that had direct bolt 22.5's in that big goofy 8 lug pattern. If you ever get wheels from him, get the lug covers and hub covers somewhere else. Also the steel inners were not true.
Oh yea......the the truck looks awesome!! Do you have 4:88's? If so, it will finally be geared right and probably pick up a little on mileage.

I have a roll top bed cover on the truck, so we had to find a tank that would fit under that. I chose to go with a tank from ATTA. It forms an "L" shape around the roll top canister and therefore does not waste much bed space. This tank is designed to carry fuel, but they said there will not be any problems using it for water.
Once the tank is mounted we will use a 12 volt RV style demand pump to move the water. We may mount this on the tank or under the truck. We'll decide when we get to that point. Anyhow, when it is finished you just have to flip a switch to turn on the power to the pump and attach a garden hose. The pump will turn on and off automatically as you squeeze the hose nozzle and ask for water.
It's a pretty simple setup actually. We had this same arrangement on our old gooseneck Myco and it worked like a charm. The nice thing is that you can wash and flush the boat anywhere without having to look for a hose or wait in line to use one when away from home.
Here is a link to the web site for the tank. We are using the 52 gallon tank/tool box combo.

We had the same pump set up in Jacksonville, but the tank was inside a tool box. The tank was to small and we had to keep filling it at the park next to the parking area.
When we were in Jacksonville they had your boat on the big screen with your name and MD. The guy next to me said "he must be a doctor" I said no I think he is from Maryland.
