Very nice, solid build. Did you use large MV lenses for the headlights? Whatever they are, they look good.
It may just be the photo, but the front turn signals appear to be too red. They should be amber.
The biggest problem this kit suffers from is the track of the rear wheels, which are too far inboard. Well, that and the tire detail.
Other minor things that aren't as visible are the lack of brakes and steering arm, to name just a few. Overall I like it. I don't think it would be too late to add rear brake drums to bring out the wheels to their correct position.

Great job on the kit OOB , I used the same chassis for my 5 ton wrecker. My only issue w your build is the wood texture on the floor of the bed! All the trucks we had in our MP had 2 steel plates for the floor.
Good job though.
