Actually its pretty easy mod to do. just doulbe side tape a micro hitec servo in there and hook up the linkage and your in business. Been doing that mod on all my trucks for the last couple of years.

Got the whole truck wired and ready to go. Had a problem with the sleeper. Some of the bodywork shrink. So I striped the paint and started over. Hope to have it re-sprayed soon.

That really turned out well, I am very impressed. Bad luck with the sleeper but I am sure you will have it sorted pretty soon. Can't wait to see that fitted.

when brian took his sleeper off at the one east coast show on his first rig, it caused a daycab build to commence! :D Good luck!
