I want to decorate the truck, but I can't find anything on the web.
Any of you electro-knowledgable folks know how?

Please don't post the picture itself on this thread but a link to where the picture is located. If you don't have space to put the picture, send it in to me and I'll keep them up until after the holidays.

Kind of on the same subject I decorate an old car in my front yard every year with lights. Last year it was the 1940 1/2 ton. This year I have the lights on my 1953 Cadillac Fleetwood. I put 35 strands of lights on it and you can see it over a mile away.
