looks great the only thing i would have done differently is flip
the drive shafts around longer out of the tranny then hanger bearing
then short shaft. and move the train horns to the back side of
the steps

Bigford. Horns are not in there final place waiting for the light panels to put them in there final place as for the shafts I know that would be more scale but like most of my buddys 1:1 show rigs I like to hide the hanger behind the tanks it gives the open area of the frame a cleaner look..

Looks sweet Paul. Think that's the first time I have seen one of my shocks painted.

I have to get making some more of them soon.

I think the 3 major mods were shortening and lowering the sleeper, makeing new hood side with new frenders and a new, longer frame

Well Paul, that turned out to be one of the most scale looking trucks I have ever seen. Love the old school color scheme. Work of art and a great tribute to the original.

Finally wrapping this truck up after it just sitting on the shelf for about a year I took it down and got the MFU installed and all the lights set the rear bumper lights up so I have 3 break 3 park and 3 turning lights off the MFU all at the same time all I am waiting for now is the logo decals but here are some picks.

MFU and holder for my LIPO Batt.

Thanks Much Sharky..
