Do you want to drill your own channels?

For now I was thinking of trying to locate a stock pair of KH rails already drilled and ready to bolt up. I haven't asked yet on the forum but I would think there would be some around since a lot of guys upgrade to a stretched KH frame.

I have a set of stock KH frame rails I would be happy to donate to your fine build. PM me with some details so I can get them to you.

1985's Poseidon is the perfect stretch, didn't know it was on KH rails but it looks great.

The final group of photos through to the finished (for now) truck.

Added the fifth wheel and bumpers.





Stacks, lights, mirrors, and handrails.







Interior and grill.













These are what I have at this time. I did a basic build and will make modifications later. I do want to thank everyone for their comments and ideas. I certainly take it all in and keep everything in mind as I make future changes.

Thanks for looking!!

Nice little work horse you built there bud. It's still got so much potential on which way she can head, any plans for a trailer?

Thanks Bricknick. I have a lot ideas for the truck for sure, there is plenty of room for growth!!
As far as a trailer I am not real sure yet. I will be paying extra close attention at Indy this year to see what way I wanna go. I am thinking something that can be loaded and dumped.

Thank you 126happy. I have been running it around the house and on the sidewalks (my dog is terrified of it). I have to do something about the bobtail situation though!

I agree Bigford. That is a good idea and something to give some thought to.

Came out great. Drive it around and enjoy it while you collect upgrade parts for a "winter upgrade project". I agree with Bigford, tankers look great behind cabovers.

Thanks Chris I have already started looking at various parts for the upgrade. So many things to do and choices available. As far as a trailer... tanker has possibilities.

Thanks Gator. I was really happy with how the green turned out. Still thinking of stripe or paint scheme options to add to it.

Having some years on the trails, your build brings back memories of the classics down on Hwy 27/441. Again, outstanding!

I agree Gator. Time to bring back some of the nostalgia in our RC world.
