Big bench means big mess and never more room!

Wow they probably got terrorists and just plain weirdos running back and forth and they give someone like you a bad rap, that sucks. When I was in my late teens early twenties (read stupid) my parents lived in Canada and I stayed in the states and had a couple uncomfortable crossings. Never been back. Hope you can get it fixed so you can come back to Indy!

The build is going slow, its details details details . I tried to get some paint work done before the cold set in since I paint in the garage and it's not heated (yet) . I really suck in the paint department anyway .









The metallic grey will be cab and dump body color.

NICE!!! Are you sure you started with a Knight Hauler?? Can't wait to see it with paint on it

[TRUCKMAKER]

Yep, that was your Knight Hauler.

Thanks Jakyat, here are a couple pictures showing the inspiration for the build and the color scheme.

Thanks Chris, I'm on rear suspension 2.0, the first one ended up with no tire clearance especially in an off road situation. 2.0 will be similar to a Hendrickson "R" series. Hopefully will have pictures in a week or so.

[Izzy]

Week or so - get to work ya scallywag!

[TRUCKMAKER]

Ok

[TRUCKMAKER]

WOOHOO IT's SITTING ON IT's OWN TIRES!
I'll post pictures tomorrow, using a brand new camera, haven't down loaded them yet so that ought to be fun.

[TRUCKMAKER]

Photos of Rear Suspension 2.0. I still need to make the longitudinal and transfer torque rods and mount brackets, finish cleaning up parts and paint but its finally on its own feet!






























Don't pay attention to the date stamp on the pictures, new camera and obviously haven't figured it all out yet.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Alex, glad to see you on here, boy have I got some news for you! Watch for a PM or I might even give you a call in the next week and thanks, the truck should start moving along, just a few more parts to make for the rear suspension.
