I do want the challenge of assembling the truck myself.

I just need others to do the paint/decal/body/interior work for me.

if you contact SCALE ART with your list of specs they will make a kit for you even if the parts don't exist. exactly like how it should be in your eyes. KW everything.
Its going to cost in the range of $8000 to $15,000 dollars shipped loaded with all the bells and whistles. Including the dog. If you don't have that kind of money kindly stop with this hobby its not for you. Or you do as others do simply make it yourself, lock stock and barrel. The hardest part of this hobby is money how much can you put out. If your pockets are shallow and you have lint in the corners of them your wasting your time.

Well, I contacted True Scale RC. I think something can be be made doable with a little help from them and to the delight of my eyes and ears for well under $8,000.

I can get a model dog for under $20 from amazon.com.

Where can I get a guy in a cowboy hat to sit at the wheel of a 1/14 scale rig?

Well, I can get the guy sans cowboy hat here...
