Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

got the frame almost pretty much done, a few tweeks and some prep work and it'll be ready for paint.

cut the ends so they're ramped:

everything is finally bolted in place instead of mocked up! (waiting for the lift axle to dry)

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

Looking good!! Great job on the frame taper! did you use a band saw to cut it?

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

actually i used my new scroll saw with the blade it came with, worked really well. glad i picked it up on sale, payed $90 for a $260 saw. :D

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

Great job on your KW conversion! The lift axle and suspension is adding a lot to the build. Think you've got enough cab clearance lights? :D I AM a fan! The frame ramp taper looks nice too.

thanks!
I have seen a1:1 rig with 11 on the roof, I only have 9. :D

Re: First Build - King Hauler (UPDATE 14-10-12!!!)
 

Well, the new job getting me home every night has allowed me to finally get some work done on my truck! ive got about 95% of the body work done, its getting close!

i had to pull the lift axle for now, i wasnt happy with it, have a few ideas in mind, but hopefully Russ gets his on the shelf first! and cant wait for steves wheels either!

went with a goldish color for the frame, the cab will be dark cherry metallic with some stripes or something the same color.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

got the rear fenders back from the paint shop ( a shop vac box in my basement, lol) and they look sweet!

should give y'all a color contrast, the cab will be the same color.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

Sounds like the same sale at Crappy tire that I bought my scroll saw. Lol Great deal eh ? I love mine:)

Sweet looking KW :cool: love the color choice. I guess work truck means no extra lights?

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

hey allen that colour combo looks good together .i like it can't wait til you send the cab out to be painted :p:p its about time you got back to building this truck..we are all growing old waiting:p:p

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

Wow that is very close to what I am going to build next spring when I got the monies. Only thing different is that I am going to heavy haul it! Very nice colors are great! For your first truck its better than what I am going to be able to build :D

Re: First Build - King Hauler
 

Thanks!

i havnt got to use mine much, only did the rails before the reno started! i have lights to go under the cab and in the holes in the bunk, going to try painting with chrome paint around it, see how it does.

im glad i have the time to build it! there are alot of interstate miles where i was planning this thing!
thx dwayne

mine started as a heavy haul, will get a lift axle once i get a better one figured out. i have an idea that uses brake line and steer axle spindles, but i want to get the rest finished up first. thx!
