thanks man! I had a lot of mentoring from Brian on the lights!! and all i can say, is the effect is earned!!! it takes a TON of time to get the light bars made, then put lights in them, then wire them.... THEN mount them, probably the most difficult part!

yes, this is the third.... and FINAL! first was 1.5 king sleepers, then 2, and this one is 3... was a fun build, but I think I'm done w/ the condo's! Time for a daycab or something where every 1/4" of space is used floor to ceiling! haha!

Rod, this is your best truck yet. The lights are my favorite part of this truck, and the smoker unit the second. She really is a beaut, all the way. How many LEDs did you actually end up using? I think I lost track at 48, just going down the cab and sleeper skirting. :D

Nice and simple yet Killer. The lights and engine really make this one.

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
 
This might be a silly question, Rod, but is white the final color for the truck?

Stepside 10-11-2010 09:30 PM

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
 
tks for the comments fellahs!

@ Nate - white is color for sure! I am not 100% done w/ the truck (are we ever!!) I am going for a "white out" theme on the truck and will paint the straps on the tanks white and may put on a different set of full fenders and paint those white also. I have a deck plate that I got from Brian at the show and I am going to get it on there also... Lastly, I want to work on a roof-top a/c unit...

ah, if I only had the time.... ;)
