a few but not much,

my profession is getting in the way of my building!!

i got the third axle in, and thanks to kenworth_1985 i have a set of rims

ive made the hoop for the driveshaft for the lift axle, and because im cheap im making my frame rails, i have to trim some channel i got down lengthwise, and got almose to the end of one and my bandsaw blew a belt.

i have the design for my lift axle figured out, just need the parts.

hopefully within a few weeks i'll have some update pics up, ive already figured out my next 2 or 3 builds.....just need the time to do it!

Sounds like something to me...
I was always a disciple of that old rc racing proverb: Slow is fast...

Great job so far! Can't wait to see it paint...

Looks like a good old hard working truck. Ya know, an every day use truck, built for haulin' and the open road, as opposed to a show truck.

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

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.

Sounds like the same sale at Crappy tire that I bought my scroll saw. Lol Great deal eh ? I love mine

Sweet looking KW love the color choice. I guess work truck means no extra lights?
