[RCP57]

Don't you mean "now and then"?:p:p

[Mikeo78]

Yes I do :) lol

[RCP57]

Haha, I really like the tri-axle

[Mikeo78]

Thank you. Thinkin of a new grill and some type of rear bumper next.

[Snochaser]

The truck looks great Mike.

Be sure when you are posting, stay with the same thread, don't make a new one each time. It makes it easier for you and everyone else to find and review your builds.

[Espeefan]

I like the now photos! Brown isn't the typical color I think of, when I think trucks, but it looks great on your King Hauler. The changes you've made are awesome. We need more photos!

[Mikeo78]

Thanks guys. That makes sence Ben, thanks for the advice :)

[blitzk]

That is a beautiful truck, nice job all around!!!! I love the idea of chrome around the headlights. Came together very nice.

[cabs]

You need the small block-square style rear bumper from Russ with a few lights in it. It will sure look trick on that beast

[Mikeo78]

Thanks guys. I agree, I need a rear bumper. Mayb something from Russ

[Mikeo78]

Hahaha. I wrote that b4 I read. (Cabs):)

[cabs]

He's got that cool square that has holes pre-drilled in the back,perfect for a work truck. It's looking great, even with those silly cat mud flaps. I work at a deere dealer. ahahaha

[Mikeo78]

Hahaha we can't all b perfect! Lol j/k.:)

Thanks Wayne!

[BRICKNICK]

That is gotta be in my opinion the nicest stock king hauler cab Pete conversion I've ever seen. Great job. I like how your Pete fender guards almost gives the illusion from the front end of Pete 379 style double square style headlights.

[Mikeo78]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. :)

[Mikeo78]

Hey mike I see this tractor pulling a tri-axel lowboy with a massive wide load. Or big ol piece of equipment.

[dman10]

I think you need to run some marker lights along the bottom of the cab and sleeper, looks great btw, just my style of truck.

[404]

Looking good! Do you have any plans to do the pete style headlights down the road?

[Claus]

Like how you changed the bull horns to polished.

[Mikeo78]

Hey mike I see this tractor pulling a tri-axel lowboy with a massive wide load. Or big ol piece of equipment.

I agree, I also like the looks of a shinny aluminum dump tho :)

[Mikeo78]

I like the look of those lights mayb a set on the mirrors too!

[Mikeo78]

I would like to deff do the 379 lights just figure ill do that last after truck is completed. That way I still have something left to do. Lol

[Mikeo78]
