Pete 379 long haul Low Boy truck
 
So a few months ago Brian built me one of his awesome lowboys to haul my Doosan excavator around. So now I need a new truck to pull it. So I went with a King converted to a Pete 379. Steve's rims, front bumper, breathers and tanks. ERC made me the rear frame cross member to hold the bumper Ed sent me. My aluminum wing in the roof.

I added LED's to the dash for a realistic guage cluster and added one of Brians CB radios with LED's well.

Keith is def not giving himself enough credit, all the diamond plate work done by him was just the tip of the iceberg next to that Headache Rack he made COMPLETELY from scratch! Truck combo is gorgeous!, No surprise at all...

"You took the build right out of my mouth!!!!" I swear, it was just a couple days ago that i had a vision of a orange on black with silver pin stripe to throw the orange out. Something with a harley davidson theme with HD colors. Looks awesome!!!! I see a build of the month winner here. I too would like to see more pics hauling the machine.

I'm going to officially reefer to this color as Keith Orange. I love that your color addiction has earned you an official color named after you Keith.

Thanks dream weaver, The traile was built by Brian, exclusive RC. He's in the hobby shop section. I can't say enough about his low boys. They pull great.
