Got this one from a good buddy of mine that I have been trading with for 15 years or so. He lives in the Southern part of my state but we never have met just phone and internet chat. So I loaded up my end of the trade deal and drove 270 miles round trip and this is what I got. Basically stock King with Rc4wd wheels and front tires. Has a Traxxas xl5 and 55 turn motor. It also came with a set of 28 inch rails that I will probably install once i get some rod for a driveshaft. Here are a couple pics....

Re: New King Hauler

cool yeah id defitnely put it on those longer frame rails stock kings are just too dang short for my opinion.

Re: New King Hauler

stock rails are good for day cabs!!!

Re: New King Hauler

I love those white Buds. The add a real classic look on these trucks.
Ken.

Re: New King Hauler

Definitely a great find. Truck looks really good, will be looking forward to your mods.

Re: New King Hauler

Stick king rails are also perfect length for a custom looking globe liner with the stretched owner operator look. That's what I did with my stock king rails.

Re: New King Hauler

Well i finally got around to stretching this rig and I like it!!! Just need to make a driveshaft for it and will be back on the road. Here is a few pics!

Re: New King Hauler

Thanks Dwayne! The pipes were the best 9 bucks I've spent at Lowes. A little aluminum polish and good to go!

Re: New King Hauler

Great upgrades Brad nice work..

Re: New King Hauler

Thanks for the comments guys! Wish the budget allowed more work on this....

Re: New King Hauler

Finally got some extra cash to put into this old girl, so shaving the front fenders, adding a new grille and rear bumper and possibly some Grand Hauler fenders. Some new aluminum rims are coming as well!

Oh and I added a MFU. Just the sound for right now. Waiting until the body mods and new paint are done for the lights.

Re: New King Hauler

Lookin' good, Brad!
Good thing you've got a sleeper to fit that MFU install! ;)

Re: New King Hauler

Yeah I would have liked to have done the seats and dash but looks like the speaker box will go there. It's not as bad as my knight hauler that has the big speaker box but the MFU sounds so much better with it...I also popped on a sweet grille for it. Just got to wait for it to get here from Hong Kong!

Re: New King Hauler

You are not the only one. Mechanical work is OK but the body work just plain s***s. Looks like you are doing a fine job on the body work!

Re: New King Hauler

Nice lookin Rig.. Love the blue, the length smartens it right up.

Re: New King Hauler

Good looking grill! Really makes a difference.

Re: New King Hauler

Thanks! Now just got to get feeling better to get this finished before the Lebanon show...Might be tight!

Re: New King Hauler

Nice looking rig! Love the grill. I'm waiting for Semi Joe to get more in stock so I can finish up my Pete. Do you have anything else planned or is it about done?
