Nice, you even put the hole in the truck so you can use it as a ice cooler once she's done. :tu:

I used a very high temp paint by simonize, supposed to be for manifolds etc, It needs heat curing and is easily rubbed off if not cured. As far as I know its available in black silver and red

I might know a couple of people with spares, I'll send them a message and see if they have anything.

Actually, you could try this guy, he said he had a pair with linkage, but obviously I expect he will want to sell them as one lot.
