Re: First Build - King Hauler
got the frame almost pretty much done, a few tweeks and some prep work and it'll be ready for paint.
cut the ends so they're ramped: everything is finally bolted in place instead of mocked up! (waiting for the lift axle to dry) made the light buckets for the tail lamps on the fenders: thanks for looking |

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Goose looks real good.. To have both.. Finish off the back of your cab like a day cab then make a either a drom floor for behind the day cab that the sleeper will fit over or do a floor head ache rack combo that the sleeper can slide over and WALA you have both.

Re: First Build - King Hauler
Great job on your KW conversion! The lift axle and suspension is adding a lot to the build. Think you've got enough cab clearance lights? I AM a fan! The frame ramp taper looks nice too.

Re: First Build - King Hauler (UPDATE 14-10-12!!!)
Well, the new job getting me home every night has allowed me to finally get some work done on my truck! ive got about 95% of the body work done, its getting close!
i had to pull the lift axle for now, i wasnt happy with it, have a few ideas in mind, but hopefully Russ gets his on the shelf first! and cant wait for steves wheels either! went with a goldish color for the frame, the cab will be dark cherry metallic with some stripes or something the same color. getting excited, i might actually drive this sucker soon! thanks for looking |
