The hand riveter I tried was a small one. I used a lot of solid aluminum rivets on my race car tub and seat. I was able to get to the backside with a buck. The panel on the rear of the truck is riveted to tubing so I needed to use some type of blind rivet. The Huck steel rivets are stronger than the aluminum solid rivets in sheer.
The lights will be two red stop, turn and tail and a white back-up on each side. The back-up lights will be controlled with a switch on the dash so that I can have light with the truck out of gear for hooking up to the trailer in the dark.
You are right, no room on the roof for the horns. I tried to find room under the cab but decided they would be out of the way on the end of the motorhome. I pointed them down so no water or dirt would get in. Sitting in the shop I can control the air valve pretty good and not give them a full blast but driving down the road may be another story.
