I'm getting pretty close to finishing up this king hauler, but here is a quick look at the build up and where i'm at now on it.

i've used the king cab and drive train on this, the rest is custom.









I'm kinda going for an old skool look with this truck so a mercury sleeper seems pretty fitting for this build.





All mocked up and ready to tear the truck back down for some paint and polish



And that brings it up to where i'm at now on this one. Frame painted and ready to start going back together.

I've also been doing some builds that are alittle more out side the box. This one is a little single axle rat rod.







Still a ways to go on this rat but its a fun build

Another flat out rat rod, that i mocked up for a good buddy of mine

I started out with some pretty wild frame rails and just went to building









And here is how the truck sits now at its new home

Started putting the truck back together while i was doing some milling today. A little bit of paint really changes the whole look of a build

Excellent examples of trucks with that classic RUSS edge! Always loved your Mercury sleeps, nobody else does them that I know of.

Thanks Russ, I'll keep an eye out. A chassis kit with front axle, front suspension and steering linkage would be nice!
