Thanks!

It's actually a yellow top cover that I painted black along with the top part of the battery to eliminate the bright yellow.

Here is the red top version of it... Amazon.com: Optima Batteries 15029655 34/78... Amazon.com: Optima Batteries 15029655 34/78...

Can you still use the top posts with the cover? I'm trying to hide the red on the battery but don't want to redo my cables.

It's designed to cover the top post if they aren't being used but you might be able to modify it to make it work. I'd give it a shot :)

Played around with an old and new picture today...

I actually need to take the truck to the exact same spot as the first picture and get some pictures since my parent still live in the same house...

Thanks!

We jokingly call it the Red Regular Cab Tour. :lol: My buddies (RedRat) truck is down so he drove my 98 down.

I wish the dually was mine too... its LOW1TON's.

Where did you get the pedals? I love the pedals GM used up into the early 70's and those evoke the look well.
