I like the looks of it as a business truck too. It certainly stands out and will get you noticed. Two things I would want if it was my business.
For whatever reasons a lot of people on here don't like stripes, badges or decals of any kind on their truck. IMO, they might as well buy a Camry if they just want a plain, blah vehicle.

If you post a thread about people's opinions, don't get your crap in a knot when people don't like it. I've seen people that don't like my stock FX4 because it's stock. It's not fair to us to yell at us when you get criticized. Now that that is over with...
It looks better. Still too busy for me (especially the chrome on the mirror) but it does look better. Keep the progress coming!

As a business truck, I'd be pretty pleased with it. Current wheels and all. Upgrading the wheels and tires would be icing on the cake, but nothing overkill. After all, it is a business truck and needs to be functional for your work in the city.
Oh, and see about blacking out the white paint in the rear wheel wells.
And you really need to get your website up and running. Then put footprintwoodstone on your truck so people can find the site. A potential customer is going to want to check out your site for samples of your work.

Lose the chrome mirror covers and steps. I'd recommend black aftermarket wheels with a 0 offset with the 33's. That would fill up the fender flares. A leveling kit and it would look good. Paint the stock grill black to match everything else. Good luck with the business

I think your truck being a business truck it should stand out and it does big time!....its not what I would pick for a white truck
My idea of a white truck would be more white with black accents (trim, box cover, pillars) and then id through in some chrome or black wheels or vise versa, partial chrome grill just the middle. but hey thats just me.....I still have 2 all black vehicles so I went chrome this time, and wanted a color change.
If you were to look at Desert Dawg's trucks you would see what i mean white with some class, but thats a personal touch not a business side of things......
I don't like the chrome on the mirrors, top of the mirror would been ok if you had chrome on your truck, but no chrome its out of place!
it looks better then it did thats for sure!

We are all learning here, thats why we are here trying to figure things out good or bad, so I really wonder why some guys get so up tight about another person vehicle.
Do what makes you happy do your research and thtas all that really matters
Good Luck on the rest!!

For business purposes, I think it stands out and looks much better than before.
As a personal vehicle, it is not what I would do for my driveway. But again, it is doing what you intended...generate emotion so folks will remember it.
I have a next-door neighbor who owns a Nutisystem franchise here in town, and he has a Superduty monster truck with Nutrisystem graphics all over (must be a 20-inch lift). He also owns a Lotus, Porsche, and Range Rover so is obviously use to getting attention...lol. The truck is hideous looking and is nothing more than a rolling billboard (luckily he tries to keep it parked on the side of his house). I would not do that to my personal vehicle, but he sure gets a lot of attention and folks remember seeing it.

And that is the whole point it's not a personal vehicle it's an advertising tool. And way more valuable to his business than if it were just transportation. A billboard campaign for a few weeks would have probably cost him as much as his truck, mods and wrap all together and it's good for as long as he wants to use it. Good ROI!
If the vehicle serves for both personal and business purposes, then the trick is to pull off something that is attractive and desirable so that others would associate his "I would like to have that truck" with the business so by transference people are also curious/attracted to his business. If the the personal/business vehicle is unattractive or sloppily done, then guess what gets transferred in people's minds (unless it is so over the top like the example I gave). But all in all, I rated his efforts right in the middle because it is not unattractive (it is a Ford truck to begin with...lol) and he is constantly making improvements.
