Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Well we are taking about doing truck pulling at the meets so here is my truck. Their will be no secrets with mine as I am going to show you a step by step build of my Globe Liner.

Firs step dump all of the parts out on the rotary table :D and for the new guys this is how you should do it.:rolleyes:

Next get rid of the instructions and that nasty pink off the shocks.:D The pink is very easily removed with ZEP-A-LUME aluminum cleaner 10 times faster than ez off and no where near the mess.;)

Ducde - that was fast! Just like a pullin truck - no interior, lights, windows or cushioned seat- all business. What rear tires did you choose?

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Here is the video of the test run. At the beginning the truck is in 3rd gear and wide open then I put it in 1st. The rest of it is just seeing that it all works OK. Izzy those are RC4WD Roadys, they were part of the last order.

Travis

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Wow! You didn't waste much time with this one! I like it. I thought I saw the gears turning in your head after you pulled that sled in Jackson. hee hee hee... :D

Scott

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Heck yea I am ready to do this.

Travis

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Keep that Diesel Truckin'. ::cool:

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Will it have lots of frame twist like the 1:1 rigs I've seen.

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

I saw an old COE Peterbuilt today. What a fine looking truck it is too.

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Yeah it really does have a very "rough and ready for anything" look about it. Like a little pitbull! I really like those wheels too, so 1:1 looking.

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Hey Travis your truck looks cool keep the pics coming.It was cool seeing your truck pull my sled at Jackson TN show. I need to get your email so I can send you the pics of your truck.
Thanks. Les

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Thanks Les and I am glad to see you here on the board. Just be careful looking around, these trucks can become addicting.

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

It looks like it's all business Trav!

Brian

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Thanks Brian, now I just have to decide what to do with the body and paint. I have thought about making it look similar to Robs black KW idk.

Travis

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

I know hope to get a truck after the first of the year. I have been planning on doing a build like you are doing for a month now then I saw yours a couple of days ago.Thought I was the only one thinking about a project like this lol.

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Well not much to add yet but I ordered a new grill for the truck and I hope to get it this week. I am also trying to figure out what color to paint it but nothing really sounds good to me yet any ideas?

Travis

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

paint it pearl black cherry with orange fenders and roof ! :cool:

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

I like the sound of pearl black cherry and orange. Picturing it in my head, it would look amazing!!

Re: Pulling truck project "BIG TIME"
 

Not much of an update but I received a new grill from ihbuider today so I put it in to see how I liked it and it looks fantastic. Now I did not plan on doing a lot of body work on this truck but with the new grill I guess I gonna have to do some.
