Off to a great start, the King Hauler accepts both a day cab and a Kenworth look very well. Already a long way from a stock truck.

[flatdeck]

Sorry for not getting the pictures to come up.. I will figure it out..

The build is a day cab, it came from a friend (used) frame rail were from True Scale also from Russ will be the KW steps, fuel tanks and a tool box step.. From Steve (IHB) a nice set of rims with Baby moons and top hats for the rear.. From Travis a great KW grill. Ben from Fat stack's has supplied the MULE EAR stacks.. And the rear light plate is from my friend Reg.. at RCP57....

There will be better pictures

Wayne

[RCP57]

Hey that rear bumper looks familiar? Funny though, I don't remember seeing it with all those holes....lol

It's about time you started posting some build pictures. Keep em coming!

[Lmackattack]

Do you gt articulation with the 8 bag set up?...first time I have seen that in r/c?

[dabears]

Looks like a great start so far!

[kaptain Jack]

Very impressive!

[1985 kenworth]

About time don't you think wayne.....you know we are not getting younger. How is the 8 bag system working out ..clever idea and yea the first i ever saw on a build.i guess no more school nights for you there.. lol...its coming along great so far....keep the updates coming buddy

[flatdeck]

Do you gt articulation with the 8 bag set up?...first time I have seen that in r/c?

It is a older system.. I remember seeing them on KW years ago.. I got it of one of the members here. Articulation is good front to back but not so good on each axle...

I like because it is different..

Wayne

[flatdeck]

Very impressive!

Thanks Jack..

[flatdeck]

Looks like a great start so far!

Thanks..

[Supermario]

I see you've been busy! Looking real good so far on your first build :cool:

[flatdeck]

Working a two tone scheme.

Wayne

[plow jockey]

Looking SWEET! Keep those updates coming. Great job!

[flatdeck]

Well here a a couple of up grades.. Got the servo activated 5th wheel done, what a pain but it was a learning thing... Thanks to Mario (S&M) for pictures of how this is done..

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P2180140.jpg

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P2220142.jpg

Todays job was to make single fenders for the drives.. First did the mounting brackets out of brass mounted to the axles. If it was not for an article about making the fender by another member (I believe it was Travis) it would have been a lot harder.. Another learning thing.. Next will be to polish them..

Well it has been awhile, I was sick for three week with Bronchitis and was unable to work on my day cab. Well I have been back for a couple of days, Got the chassis painted I used Boysenberry, as it is one of the two tone colours I am going to use on the cab..

I have got most of the items mounted on the frame, polished the fender and got them mounted.

Well I have always want to build a couple of COE IH and Kenworths, so I started on a COE IH single axle.. Started on a IH single axle with a custom stock length frame, add a set of Russ's (True Scale) fuel tanks and step boxes Steve's (IHB Scale) wheels and custom round end bumper..
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P7130257.jpg

you can see Russ's air ride and Reg's (RCP's Aluminum) light plate..

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P7130259.jpg

This is Russ's billet grill..

[flatdeck]

Received a set of Fat Stacks bull horn stacks really like then, Did some body mods and add on of Fred aluminum boxes...
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P7260276.jpg

Made the aluminum deck plates and mounted the 5th wheel.. no really happy with the stack mounts, do not like to mount them to the body, not a scale thing......

http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h478/flattoppro/P7260277.jpg

Body almost ready for final prep before paint..

Rod (Stepside) sent me a great visor for my COE, got all the holes drilled for the roof lights and work lights
