Craig, your truck's improved appearance is looking awesome! I like the thinner locker much more then the original, and Lynn did a really nice job with tail light panel. I really like his bezels. I can't wait to start finding a use for the ones I bought from him.

Thanks Nathan, it's coming together slowly. Funny looking back at where it started though, these Wedicos need a lot of help!

Thank you, I was very happy Steve was willing to make another headache rack, I was planning on having the other one milled down but this was easier!

Thanks Rod! Should we make this one a smoker? If only that smoke fluid came in black!

Been working on the truck a little bit, going 8X8 with the help of some new ScaleArt diffs and springs. Going to have to go back to the drawing board though to get the ride height where I want it. 3:1 ratio and locking diffs should head my truck in the direction I'm wanting to go. A Veroma 3 speed is the next thing coming.

wow, those axles and suspension should be classified as truck porn..

[Espeefan]

That's some serious metal, Craig. I'm glad your parts arrived safe and sound. The axles and rear suspension looks great. I like how the walking beams fit perfect for the tri-drive. I'm craving more photos of those axles. They sure look good in black!

[Supermario]

Craig, all I can say is wow! I now fully understand why you called it hillbilly DELUXE !
That scale art stuff is killer look, but also killer pocket book effect

Thanks for the update, looking forward to more

Thanks guys! Still looking at the front suspension, I have Wedico, Osswald and ScaleArt, none of them really please me but we'll see.

[Diesel Demond]

more eye candy!

Serious drool factor... Leaving now before I make a mess!

Really a nice truck. Don't know if this has been asked yet but what color red is that? Waiting to get my first truck, the Knight Hauler.

[Claus]

Thanks again everybody! The color, Wedico red, parts come from Wedico powder coated red.

Did some mach ups this morning. The truck is going to have more rake in it than I want but I happy with it overall as I do not want the front end any higher. Need to buy another set of wheels for the rear, the Euro fronts and knobby tires are not staying on the front, need to drill put the lug hole in my Wedico front wheels before they can be mounted on the driven axle. The rear suspension is working sweet! Yes, the headache rack, fuel tanks and sleeper are going back on. Also have some really nice mirrors from Scale Art to add.
