Ok so this is one of my longest builds ever so this may be a little spotty build thread but here we go.
Ok I first got this truck used off of Rc Universe and here is how it looked. ![]() So as the Blue was no good for me I went with the color of a shop rig at the local Case IH Dealer. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Soooo needles to say i did not like how that looked either so it was time to go all out on it. Few years ago my uncle had a COE IH Eagle that had a flatbed and a 38 foot flatbed trailer it pulled with a pup and hauled the large square bails on it so that is the truck I went for.
So I started but tearing it down and putting it on KH rails and mounting a GD600 gear reduction to the rear of the gear box. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next I built the flatbed for the truck out of alum and added a pine wood floor to it and mounted it to the truck ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Ok so the next order of biz was to take a pole trailer kit and lower it and make a dolly out of it. You can see in this pick if you look close I notched the rails and raised the leaf mounting brackets to lower the deck of the 5th wheel.
![]() ![]() ![]() Ok next the hitch on the back of the truck and the tail lights. For the lights I used some Knight Hauler tail light parts. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Awesome work, Paul. Another great looking that I remember from the old gt forum days. I still think the paint is sharp. That red is looks really nice. I never noticed the 'Haulin Grass' sticker on the back.
