MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
I am as excited as a kid on Christmas.:bounce: I received my Grand Hauler yesterday, and I was totally surprised.:jaw: I haven't started on it just yet, I'm deciding where too start...possibly the body work.:rolleyes: Well here is the truck and some items I have got for it so far.

Thanks for looking, Big John |

Are you going to get a rolling chassis going while waiting on those parts?

Well I got started building today, but I didn't achieve much, but it felt good wrenching. ;)

For the amber marker over headlights, how would a 3mm led with the base painted silver look? From that angle in pic i can't tell if it needs a rear cover, or if it's in fender.
It's a good start |

Im liking the look of this project. What about cutting down a pair of roof lights? Hardest part would be chroming them after the chop.
Edit- these are on garden trucking. Might be more suitable as it can have the led run through the mount. And if you want you could cap the end like i suggested above. http://www.gardentrucking.com/detail...D#.WsIFFNCubqA |

Hope you find them!
Where can one find the lights that hang off the left and right of the front bumper? |

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
Finally I am making some progress. I love the tie rod, it gives a tighter turning radius, and the shaft between the rear axles looks beefy. I shouldn't have any problem with that little bad boy.:D;):) Here are some pic's.

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
That tie rod, where did you acquire it? I LOVE it, & want very much to get one like it for my builds.
That jackshaft looks tough. I foresee NO potential problems in that area. |
Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
Doing good, John.

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
I would like to get one as well!
