Re: Tv show Movin On KW
see travis...i told you i had another build in mind to use your grille for anyway not sure whether i want to continue to build this as an exact replica of the tv series truck or do it up as a up to date customized replica with the custom bumper (s) and drop visor and rear fenders or ?i am kinda torn here as to how to proceed...any suggestions??? i already extended the stacks using the k&s aluminum tubing to where they should be ..the stock ones i think were too short.i would like to make a set of the kw w900a model steps ,i saw made here...any help and advise would be much appreciated

Re: Tv show Movin On KW
I would vote for making a replica. What I have learned, copy of a real one always looks good! And you will make a matching trailer to?

Re: Tv show Movin On KW
I say do the updated version. My reason behind that is we all know how Scott Pruitts truck looked in the stock 1970's form. Does anyone know what it would look like if he had it today with the current largecar truck trend in full swing? I'm a big fan of updating and going with amodernized version of a classic icon.

Re: Tv show Movin On KW
Not Sure Nick, have you ever been to Oklahoma and got yourself in trouble? The attorney general in Oklahoma is named Scott Pruitt....lol
Hey, Dwayne. I would lean towards an updated modern version. At least then you can let your imagination help you build what YOU want and let the Pruitt truck be the inspiration for it. That's the problem with trying to duplicate a 1:1 exactly. It's like being told you have to " stay within the lines"..... Well, sometimes, I don't want to stay within the lines!. Lol I'm sure it will turn out great no matter which direction you choose. Mario |

Re: Tv show Movin On KW
JOURNEY,
I am building two replica tractors now and what I learned is that make sure you have a lot of pictures of the real thing otherwise you screw yourself. That god for me one of the tractors a good friend of mine owns and I have the ability to go see it anytime I want. I love that truck if that was mine I would change it up a bit probably put the custom fenders on it, drop visor, SNP's pipes, texas square bumper, maybe even change the tanks and steps. Don't know your financial status but you could always order that stuff put it on for mock up and if you don't like it don't use it. Either way that is a beautiful truck good luck. TONY |
