Default Knight Hauler Day Cab
Anyone know of the best place to make the cut to turn the Knight Hauler into a day cab? Thinking about also adding a dump bed to it after cutting off the sleeper and then a pup trailer.

Not to cut in on your thread but, what type of glue or adhesive do you use to put cab back together?
Thanks, Kenneth.

RoadFlyer the last 4 pics are the one travis did for me and this is what it looks like painted and on a stock knight hauler frame, plenty or room for anything on the back.

Thanks, Kenneth.
Plastruct Bondene or Plastiweld. Bondene is used for like materials and plastiweld is for like or dissimilar materials. Plastiweld is MEK with other ingredients to help stabilize the MEK and help in the drying. Both met the plastic for a welded bond it is not glue. Some use super glue (CA) but CA does not hold up to most paints over time and you can get bleed through of the paint.

Awesome looking truck Cossett. Enough room on the back for a dump, tow truck, or even a tanker.
