The "printed" cab looks even better in person and will just need a light sanding. I would say well worth the cost when you compare it to having a cab built :D

[SuperDutyScaler]

looks great! so what is it a one piece lazer cut cab?

[Espeefan]

Looking forward to this build, Russ. The 3D printed cabs and hoods are definitely cool. Keep this up and pretty soon you'll be offering your own complete truck kits.

Hello, this looks great :) is it possible for me to buy this cab somewhere, or is it self built? Love the pete truck :)

only a few more parts to make then it'll be ready for paint...... still not sure on color combo

[RodneyO]

:jaw:Nice build so far.You got a lot of nice parts going on this rig.Can't wait to see it finished.

[Sargen]

I don't know what's cooler, the truck or the lamp. : ) It has an awesome stance, especially with the lo pros.. Can't wait to see what color choice you go with.

[Merlin]

I like This :jaw:

[BRICKNICK]

**** Russ this baby sure does have a wicked stance, it looks pissed off. That drop deck looks sick too.

[Espeefan]

Russ, any updates on this killer truck?

[Diesel Demond]

sick!!! !

[russisloud]

I don't know what's cooler, the truck or the lamp. : )

lol, one of my girl friends is belly dancer :D and did the lamp up for me...

anyways i've not done much with the truck, been busy in the shop... but hope to finish it soon. just want to make a deck plate for it and a few small things... this get it painted up. i think i look at it every day and think.. man i need to finish that truck up.........

[bigford]

what ever happened with this truck??

[Claus]

Lots, of nice things going on there, is the cab printed or just the hood and fenders?

[russisloud]

so what happened to the truck...... i never finished it, had someone email me about buying the truck and they wanted to finish it out them self.


Claus - the whole cab was one of our printed ones


I may start posting up builds again, instead of being a closet builder lol!

[RCP57]

And here I was thinking you ran off with the belly dancer...:rolleyes:

[Claus]

Russ, does the True Scale cab use the Tamiya windshield and floorboard? One of the photos, it doesn't look like the cab has a back wall. What are the differences in the True Scale cab and cutting the sleeper off of a King Hauler cab?
