Working on a new Stretched Globeliner, it's going to be a FDNY 343 memorial themed truck. It's got a stretched frame, Russ's air ride, Russ's easy stacks, tanks and air filters, painted Seagrave Red. MFU is in most lights are up and running, planning on some gold leaf and lettering to complete.http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q564/kaf343/FDNY%20Globe/91639cfe34a084520e470c3ae8a65be7.jpg

Thanks Alfy, yeah the air breathers are attached to the back panel so they come off with it to access the battery and the MFU control.

I have been using battle switches for some of the lights but the majority of the switching is from the MFU.

I was thinking I wanted to build a King Hauler for my first truck. After seeing some of the custom COE trucks it makes me have to think what I want to build first. Very nice looking truck you have.

12-14-2012, 08:26 AM

That looks really nice. I like the color too. What frame rails did you use to give it the stretch? King Hauler frame rails? Or did you custom length?

Russisloud makes those grills, he has a vendor store here on the board, The boneyard is his site, He makes a lot of accessories and suspension stuff for the trucks, some pretty slick stuff.

Well said, yes the grille, tanks, pipes and rear suspension is all from Russ. Great guy to deal with and quality products.

Thanks Kornfed, either truck is a good choice and you'll soon want to build another, their like chips, you can't have just one.

They are custom rails, I believe 24-1/2" long. Thanks for the comment.

really great looking truck! love the color. what kind of paint did you use? duplacolor? I have my frame rails but need to disassemble my globe and strip the paint to start my build. makes me want to get started now!

Thanks rcman, it's ppg paint. The frame is one shade darker than the cab and fenders. Go for it man, strip that rig down and start building. Good luck.
