Thanks I got the front wheels mounted on the roll back chassis today but I didn't get a pic of it yet. Hopefully I will have it drivable by next weekend.

Not a lot to show yet, but I am working on a new cab for the truck. The cab will still be a KW just not like most have seen. If all goes well I should have some pics later today.

What's that rear suspension Travis? It doesn't look Tamiya in those photos.

I don't know the name of who made it right off hand but it was the one raiders was selling on the B/S/T a while back and I think tc1cat bought one as well so I will ask him who made it. It is a really nice set up with a lot of articulation but it was a pain to get it all set up on the truck. I really enjoy this hobby and it does relax me but that suspension had me cussing before I was done.

Travis,
Love that wheel base on the tractor but then again I love me a long tractor. I like it without a bunk on it then again you can do like a few of the other trucks out there and make the bunk removable.

Travis, regardless of confusions and strange requests from your "employer", I see two killer builds coming on! I know you will build some fantastic trucks too good for anyone to complain about! The only question is, how many leaf springs will those trucks have? lol

Here are some update pics of the heavy haul. All I have left to do is mount the stacks and head light trims permanently, for the pics they were held on with two sided tape. The owner of the truck will finish it off with same paint.

This truck has some of our vendors parts on it.

Wheels, tanks, and locker box by ihbuilder.
Stacks by Stylin n profilin.
Visor by Stepside.
Custom bumper by me.














Thanks for looking.
Travis

Great job! I really like that bumper and the job you done on the grill.I really like that locker box,I might have to get one myself.Looks like you have a tow truck in the works with that black one.
