GripStigma's W900

[GripStigma]

Hey guys, this is my very FIRST custom truck build. I built my knight hauler back in 07' and kinda fell out of the loop, but im back and ready to do something different. This truck is dedicated to my recent loss of my namesaked grandfather who was an owner operator his whole life. Anyways, enough of that, onto the build!

[Trucker_Jo]

Who did the badge for you grill?

I think you can get those off garden trucking.:D

[GripStigma]

Thanks for the kind words guys! The badges are PMD (Gardentrucking.com) along with the headlights. frame is from russ! grill is from travis, and stacks from ben!

[BRICKNICK]

Looking good Grip.....you need the kw battery box/steps. Any ideas on a color or paint scheme? What is the length on the frame?

[Goose19]

looks good nick, glad to see you made it over here.

[GripStigma]

Thanks Nick, I will be getting on that next! 5in fuel tanks and kW steps! Paint is still an undecided step.. Lol and the frame is 3in over stock!

Thanks Allen, Truescale has been of much help! Thanks to you and Russ!

I might be doing a cab from truescale rc, and I would like to attempt to cut the sleeper down to be flush with cab.

Little update. Got some new stuff in today. Fresh new rubber on the truck, along with some new hub nuts!

Keep it going! You are off to a great start. Amazing how the wheel hubs dress these trucks up. They seem to turn the plastic chrome wheels into polished metal ones. Hard to tell the difference sometimes, they look that nice. Love the tires too.
