Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
The tierod is a direct fit, no adjustment at all. Thanks for the tip about the beads, and the legs are the same as the stock ones. If you need the actual lengths, just let me know.

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
That's pretty cool:cool:! I like fuel tankers, and I figured why not do a sunoco theme in 1/14 scale:D. I have a friend who's dad drove for texaco, but you can buy those vinyl decals all day long:p....

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
Today I received some vinyl graphics I had made by RC TRUCK GRAPHICS. They are on Facebook, and Andrew did an excellent job. The quality is second to none, the colors are crisp, and he can do just...

Re: MY NEW GRAND HAULER/KENWORTH BUILD
Thanks Hostile. I've had these in the past, and they are just to big for what I need. PMD also has a work light, it's the same as the turn signal, but with a chrome back. This is not going to beat...
