Re: First Build - King Hauler
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! |

Re: First Build - King Hauler
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.

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.
