That looks great! What gauge metal are you using? No doubt it's going to add some decent weight to the rear drivers, and make her dig in and pull!

Are you going to add CrossForce tires? I think they are a must have for your truck.

@ rctech9
Thanks bud

@Espeefan
Hey Nathan thanks man ,I'm using 16 gauge for the bed,used 22 gauge for the drop recess and the back below the expanded metal. Should have some good traction.

@Claus
I had planned just to run the stockers for now ,I will take a look at them.

Pumptech, I was thinking the same as Claus. The Crossforce tires are a must have for your build! They are available from a few different places, but in the states, Ric at Precision Model Distributors usually stocks these tires. They aren't made by RC4WD, but RC4WD does have some nice ones too. Just not so aggressive!

Very nice truck and workmanship, just love it!
Its maybe a bit short for gin poles, mines a scale 28 foot bed /400 inch w/b and poles are just long enough , they are the length of the bed.
Good fun though now I have got them working by a winch.

3Racing make a 1:8 scale winch which might be strong enough, depending what you intend to pull on board.

I have those tyres, grip is a bit more than the Tamiya tyres but think the real advantage is in the looks!

Photos of winch installed have just popped up, guess you found 3Racing winches! Still getting used to this forum!!

@ Gun
Hey Gun ,thanks man I don't see as many of these type of trucks as I used to ,new wells being drilled has slowed down quite a bit.

@Espeefan
Hey Nathan ,yea I agree those are some nice tires, still have a few things to get for this build ,esc ,etc.. mabey I can swing them .

@uk trucker
Hey uk trucker ,thanks for the compliments ,I thought about gin poles ,may leave those out though .

Had to put the build on hold for a couple days ,have had some spring projects to do.Will get back to it this week ,fitting the chrome back bumper with the lights in the back

Well a little update on this slow build, , Been working on the rear section ,had to rengineer the back some to allow for the chrome bumper that came with the kit ,was a little thicker than I thought,also put the fuel tanks under the door,had to drill and tap some new holes for it ,added some grab bars to the rack,ordered the axial bucket light set ,mounted some lights on.Need to stop by the local hobby shop and pick up some leds.
Couple more pics of some slow progress.

I reckon this truck will be nice and heavy, geared down it will really be able to haul some weight. GREAT work.
