Off to a great start, the King Hauler accepts both a day cab and a Kenworth look very well. Already a long way from a stock truck.

Sorry for not getting the pictures to come up.. I will figure it out..

The build is a day cab, it came from a friend (used) frame rail were from True Scale also from Russ will be the KW steps, fuel tanks and a tool box step.. From Steve (IHB) a nice set of rims with Baby moons and top hats for the rear.. From Travis a great KW grill. Ben from Fat stack's has supplied the MULE EAR stacks.. And the rear light plate is from my friend Reg.. at RCP57....

There will be better pictures

It is a older system.. I remember seeing them on KW years ago.. I got it of one of the members here. Articulation is good front to back but not so good on each axle...

I like because it is different..

That's kinda how I build my trucks...tape parts to see how it looks then drill holes if I'm happy....this will be a nice looking day cab.
