Default Old Skool 281

After seeing all these awesome duel trucks being built,just made me want one too. Started on the chassis with a cool metalic blue. RC4WD tires and aluminum rims painted the hubs blue. I had PROBUILDER1964 build my cab and do the paint on it.Awesome job!!! And it has a removable sleeper so I could use it as a day cab. Got some under bunk lights and rear fenders from PMD.

I like the way your truck looks.But I'm sure if you redo it you'll have a show stopper by the first snow.lol
