Thanks!

Another side benefit is improved mileage (small percentage).

I did consider the possible gas mileage benefit and wanted to protect the gas tank. But I had not thought about things getting sucked under the truck.

I always planned on making side skirts but I could never decide on how they would look.

Bought some more cheap aluminum boxes,

The front bumper was in the way so I decided to install it, I don't know if i'm going to get a new one or not. I thought about painting it white as the chrome is peeling off but it matches the look. I bought a set of fog lights as its a 71-72 bumper. They look ok but I hate how the mount.
