King Hauler Ideas/Help

The only frame I have for reference from Joe is the one from the dolly. But the holes are drilled for the screw to pass through and be nutted on the other side to hold the part on. Not a way I perticuallrly like it as that can become a real pain when the truck is fully assembled for certain parts. The other issue with Joe's rails is they are over sized and you need to shave down any plastic part that slips over the frame like the fuel tank and steps. Might not be a big deal with plastic but if you use aluminum parts that can be a pain.

There are several site members that sell frame rails. I'd check out them like the PMD one's bigford has or true scale or IHB. The IHB are nice too because they have the angled part of the frame already there.

As for hardware most people get rid of the crappy Tamiya Philips screws and go with hex screws for better looks. Personally I used stainless steel buttonhead hex screws on all my stuff. You can buy that kind of hardware from places like Fastenal.

how about a 6 inch stretch . 8 x 6, head rack and a winch for the big jobs.
the sky is the limit, or how far your wallet opens.
at the end of the day its your truck so make it how you want, i started mine quite a while ago but am always looking at new ways to make it how I like it.
