Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
I got the truck driving under its own power - got the servos both in and working well:
  No real updates on the body - I haven't done any additional body work or sanding! but I did get the rear boxes mounted and drilled and I got the fuel tanks flipped and mounted also:    Going to have to space the battery boxes and fuel tanks down to open up some room for the light bars! Even after that, I don't know if I'll have enough room to open the boxes:  Next steps are to mount the stacks and section and mount the battery boxes... mount the fifth wheel and get some body work done!

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
So I finally mounted the pipes that have been laying in the shop forever!
    Next up is to shorten the battery boxes!!!

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
I got the MFU speaker and MFU board mounted. It wasn't how I imaged it going in the from the get go, but I am pleased with the results.
   Also got the fifth wheel assembled and mounted so I can actually tow something around!   Battery boxes sectioned:  And I got the body in its first coat of primer... Still PLENTY of body work to be done!!!

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
Something to offer here... I got tired of sanding and sanding and sanding... and just let the project sit for a while... well, I'm back in and am pushing for paint! I have the body work 99% completed on the sleeper with just one or two minor touchups.
 Thanks to Brian_in_PA for all the guidance! I finally got the hood cut off... and more importantly, put back on!   I just need to do some filling on either side and it will be good. I also made a simple firewall:  I have 9 cab lights for the cab and 11 for the sleeper. These lights are just sitting there for the pic... I blacked out the windows also:

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
A well overdue update... with not much to offer!!* I let the truck sit and haven't really touched it since February!* I got back into it a few weeks ago and made some more progress on the body work... it looks better, but still has a way to go...
I made some sleeper extensions out of brass and got them in primer. I also fabbed up some tandem fenders:
