    Do it - and post some more pics of that gorgeous machine!

    If it looks that good in those few photos I would love to see the rest of it.

    Do it. You have a winch, it works and there's no need to get another one.

    I'm still looking!

    Mate there's a lot of work in that truck - as Chris said it's a credit to your patience and expertise. I won't hyjack your thread now, but expect me to hunt you down and rack your brains about your body work prep and paint! Yours came up absolutely brilliantly so you must have done something right!
