Ok so since Jon and Travis cant keep there yaps zipped I guess it is time to come clean and post some picks of a little day cab COE show rig I am putting together. Jon showed me the picks of this little truck the other day and ever since Rouge built his awesome little single axle day cab pete and Travis little day cab knight hauler I have wanted to build a signal axle day cab truck.
http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac33/Stylinpete/02018.jpg

So here is a pick of the bits and bobs..Going to run a R2 tranny with a 65 turn and a 6 tooth onion/ 645 steering servo/ Verkrik low pro tires/ 11 3/4 frame rails/ Glob cab cut way down and other pieces and parts.

Ok here is the built frame with the running geared lowered way down I had to notch the frame in the rear for the axle to travel..

Frame with stock body to the left of the blue tape is where the body gets cut.

Ok time to move the wheel well I think..

And I think this looks right..

I like the looks of this already. Not sure if you need to go with that motor and gear combo. My Stude has a 55 turn motor with about a 13 tooth pinion and it is plenty slow with the R2 in it.

....and the keyword on the last comment is TIME. It seems like a month or two ago you were building the "State/County truck" with plow and sander. I'm sure that was probably 20 trucks ago though.

-Ben

Ben that was Freddy that built the plow truck..That boy is in a class by him self..

Talk about being creative in fitting all of the stuff to run that in the cab or anywhere else for that matter.

LOL yeah it is going to be snug just getting a esc in it but my esc is the size of a .25 cent piece and I will be running Lipo so the battery will be small.

Hay I didn't mention any names I just sujested that some body should build it.:D

Like the set forward axle and re-adjusted wheel well - that's what REAL cabovers look like!

Now you just need a set of double pup boxes to tote behind it...

Hey thanks much Jim..

I am going to go with one or 2 short flat beds that will be lowered but.... 2 sea boxes to go on them would be sweet..

Ok long over due update on the old cracker box. Between customer truck builds and work there just has not been time for my stuff but I am getting a caught up with work so I got some time this weekend to work on the cracker box.

Alright I got the head lights sunk in and the new headlight rings mounted there is a little more shaping to do around the rings and I have to cut in the side marker light. I also filled in the old grill hole and got the KW grill reset in the body..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/001-8.jpg

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/004-12.jpg

Also got the floor cut and mounted so i could set the cab.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/007-7.jpg

So that is it for now.. Ill close the back of the cab in this week and cut the rear window in. I also have to make the AC unit for the roof to "Does anyone have a pick of what this unit looks like if so it would really help" Thanks Much. I have to get some alum for the front bumper so I can set it back some and make it look nice..

Ok thanks guys more to come.

Thanks Much for the great comments guys! I am hoping it comes out the way i am wanting it so so far so good. In the one pick it looks like the head light ring on the right is not level but I just looked at it and it is :confused: Just got a new dig cam and it does goofy things?? Sort of like Steve's IH bumper looking bent and it was not??

WOW! I had to do some major digging to find this thread but this may shock some but i started on it again this last weekend. I work up Sat night at 2am and could not get back to sleep so I got up and had the itch to build so I started in and things were clicking again..

I normally dont worry about the interior in the cab but i thought I would in this truck. I got the dash and seats in then got to work on the dog house.

Next the AC unit in the roof of the cab..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/019-7.jpg

Then I did the lines to the AC unit with brass rod and I also built the cover over the end of the motor with the screen over it.

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/023-5.jpg

I should get some more time this week on it all of the electronics will be in the cab and I have some more detail to do on the inside and the outside of the cab before I finish the body work and send it off to paint..

Nice job with this one, Paul. I like the paint! The grill is really nice too. Both are key to pulling off the KW look.

And I have had this in my head for a while now I wanted a pup trailer for my grain trailer and I made it so I could also pull it behind the cracker box with a change of tires..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g276/theonlytamiyacowboy/Truck%20Picks/010-3.jpg

I built this trailer today in 5hrs start to finish.. main body is made out of 1/4 PVC sheet all glued with 143 Fuser glue then I made all the alum edges and rails and glued them on too very solid trailer all I got left to do is some detail and the dolly..

Thanks For Looking.

Thanks Arron.. I am have been in the Rc hobby since I was 12 and I am 37 now and the last 13 years I have been into semis so some things are easier for me you would be surprised I bet you could build it pretty fast too 95% of the parts were cut on my table saw and miter box..

That thing looks awesome Paul. Brings back some memories. Put a coffin sleeper on it and paint it two tone blue and that's the old mans truck that I learned how to drive.

Paul, I would put a couple round lights in the back. I'm not sure about a full light bar?

Tamiya Cowboy

07-13-2012, 09:36 AM

Mike that would be a cool looking truck to build.

Brian that is what I'm thinking little stainless plate with 2 lights and a set of white flaps with chrome hangers.

great job on the Cracker Box ! I'm new to the site and am very much a cab over fan! The Globe Liner is gonna be my fist project. I'll be trans forming it also into a K-100. So I'll probably be a pain in you know what for asking dumb questions and measurments and stuff. Keep up the great workmanship!

as always paul you never fail to amaze me.i remember those as a tandem back in the 70's pulling texaco tankers around the city .they were the cracker box or slab cab as i heard them called also...good job,i would be a little claustophobic driving that for fear that if i hit a rock it would trip the truck on its nose:p

Thanks you very much Dwayne.. I have driver a Pete cracker dump truck and the cabs are very small and tight.

Well, I didn't necro bump it, but you picked a good one to revive :D

Thanks 404.. Should never worry about digging up old threads mine or anyone else its good to bring them back to the top sometimes that is the only way new people will every find them. And new members should never worry about what someone may say if you dig up a old thread there is nothing wrong with doing so.
