I just finished this truck up a few days ago and had the perfect day to go take some pictures :cool:

Its riding on 28" rails and has some custom and True Scale goodies on it.

nice build :-)

[Goose19]

Looks good. diggin the step tanks and deck plate.

Just my opinion. but the scale bolts in the chassis are over ridden with the unscale 5th wheel release, the exhaust pipes? well. What about the wipers or the holes for them. That would make a nice truck better. Oh and I know where the missing screw is.

Cheers Chris

Extra hot down Under today?

[RodneyO]

Nice truck.Is it for sale yet.lol.

[Burnt Rubber]

Hey Russ what ever happened to your 8x8 build

[Trucker_Jo]

:bounce::bounce: Jarrett

[cabs]

Thats just awesome

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Great looking build Russ that rear cab panel is killer looking!!

[Espeefan]

Nice work Russ. I like the metal touches. The rear cab panel, the deck plate, and the tank steps. Nice touches for a stock bodied cab. All you need to do is throw one of the new 3D printed Peterbilt cabs on this chassis and it would be over the top! Not that there is anything wrong with a slightly more mild stock cab build either though!

Very Nice truck, really like the custom metalwork. Where did you get the scale looking frame bolts? I'd love to get some for my Globe Liner. I'm planning on doing a little work on it this winter.

Awesome, loving it the metal work as the others have said is top notch.

[Mojave450rider]

Nice ! I love all the custom touches on it.

[BRICKNICK]

Russ your fuel tank steps are awesome, you did a killer job on those. The rear cab panel is a nice touch as well. Gives the truck a "sleeper removed and converted to a day cab" look.

[russisloud]

thanks guys, it great to read all the good comments on the rig

[Supermario]

The rig looks sharp, unique and clean Russ. As all agree the metal work is a great touch and gives the truck personality but I did notice one thing that seemed out of place. I like the new way you mounted the rear 1/4 fenders but they are stock fenders:confused: after all the great metal work you did on the rest of the truck, would be nice to see some Russ custom fenders on it:D:cool:
