That truck is sweet that took some engineering to make all the steering work nice job man.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks redcouped.



Thanks powerstroke, this is the most fun I've had building a truck.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Keith nice work keep it up. Ed

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

The paint job turned out really nice! Good combination of colors! Even the paint on the chassis looks really nice. You really layed down a nice, smooth coat.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Ed.

Thanks Nathan, it's coming along.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Got a little more finished today, still need to complete the lights, deck plate, bunk window and front bumper. Polished up one of Brian's grilles.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

looking good Keith sharp!!!!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Great job Keith. Looks great, adding the motor always sets the builds apart.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Awesome looking rig!

Ken

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Awesome looking work Keith!! Great job on it

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Nice work Keith, truck looks awsome! You did a very nice job on the headlights are bang on straight:cool:
Are they from PMD or custom made?

Mario

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Great looking truck:D:D Only thing you missed was putting the steering servo in the motor:rolleyes: I did Mike's (Dreamweaver) and must say that I don't want to do another:eek: Yours looks great!!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Bob. Hope to have a dump to hook up to her soon. LOL.


Thanks Ben, my first tilt with a motor. It's been fun so far, sort of. Lol.

Thanks Ken

Thanks Aaron.

Thanks Mario, yes they are PMD.

Thanks Lynn, yeah I thought of trying to do the servo in the motor but I don't have the tools or the talent.

Thanks Paul, coming from you that means a lot. Seeing the builds that you and others do make me want to keep trying harder to nail it.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Nice. This one just keeps getting better and better. Brian's grilles are so nice. Are you going to hang onto this one, or sell it, like so many of your other trucks?

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Nathen, yeah his grilles are awesome. This is the first one I sanded, formed a little and polished and what an awesome grille. I'm thinking I may end up keeping this one, I just bought an end dump to tag along so we will see.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

I was not going to pin stripe this one because the paint lines came out see clean, thought I would try anyway. The Orange is on and the silver tonight.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

you*

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Most likely yes, I plan on detailing under the hood as much as I can after everything else is completed. Thanks Speedy

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

hey good work is good work and its always good to see talent I call it as I see it

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Speedy.

I got my stainless deck plates on and finished the sleeper lights, I put two 3mm lights in the sleeper base to reflect some orange off the inside of the tanks.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Now thats the money shot :eek:

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Keith, it's a perfect paint job. Very clean color breaks, and I know I'd be pretty apprehensive about painting an extra pin stripe like you decided to do too. Especially after the color separations ended up being so clean the first go around. Heck, I can't even paint single colors as nice as you can do a multi-color scheme. Really nice work. I had thought about doing some kind of under cab lighting on my KW, sort of like you did with the sleeper, but with a few more lights. Nice touch.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Nathen,

I was a little nervous about touching the paint, so I cheated and did this with 1/16" pin stripe tape. Looks pretty good. I have a buddy who pin stripes all my Harleys and Choppers that I build who has an amising hand, I may let him have a go at this one. we'll see. As soon as I finish the front of the lighting I will be adding a few more lights for some underglow effect. Not to many! hopefully just enough. Are you talking about your 1950 KW adding lights?

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Small update, triple 3 is almost finished, cab and hood are aligned now, cab lights all finished. And triple three got hitched. I know this trailer has been around a lot but I think it fits well with this rig.

Next is rear fenders and btm of stacks.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Truck and trailer are looking perfect together!!!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Aaron, I've wanted this trailer since you first posted pics of it. Now I have to decide screw drive or wet kit? I want the screw drive but after looking at the frame, wet would be a lot easier.

We will see.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Excellant work on this build and perfect combination.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Keith you are right that trailer does look at home on the back of that truck sure glad to see it arrived in excellent shape.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

That truck looks sweet! Orange, black and silver is a nice combo. The hinge design is very creative, and the engine looks great! It puts that trailer to shame. :D

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Nice trailer, for sure. Is that Jammer's old Komatsu loader, under the table?

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Looks absolutely amazing Keith..but you have to show the insperation for this build..:D..Triple 3:D:D..i say nailed it and added some changes to make it your own..:cool::cool::cool::D:eek:

Thanks RC farmer


Thanks for selling it Robert.


Thanks Bigrigger, appreciate it.


Thanks Nathan, yes it's Jammer's old Komatsu. I'm thinking it needs to get painted ORANGE, LOL

Thanks John, and thanks for telling me about triple 3 in the first place. As soon as I saw the truck the first time I new I wanted to build it.:)

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Thanks Paul, I was going to send them one after I put my fenders on it.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Very nice work Keith.

Absolutely beautiful truck!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Awesome job man, that baby looks great. Fantastic job in making the gods tilt and making that cat look right at home in there.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 

Keith,
What a beautiful rig hats off to you buddy that is some pain job flawless. This has to be one of my favorite builds everything flows together nicely awsome job. I hope to see this at a show one day.
