Re: Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...
 

Guy's and gal's, I started on the tool boxes between the rear fenders since I figure that woulb be the hardest part on the Bill Signs theme...here we go.:p
I decided to use the knight hauler tool boxes because I thought they would look pretty cool, and be a little different...Thanx for the boxes fhhhstix (Travis):)

Well I did a little more tonight. I made the other piece that curves at the end of the right frame rail. And I just had to mock up the boxes with the wheels just to see how it will look. Man i'm loving doing something different.:p;):)

Re: Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...
 

Looks really good John. Great idea using the tool boxes. Will they be functional?

Re: Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...
 

Thank you petermoblin.:)They won't be functional. I had set that I could have used, but they are going on the "SLUMLORD".

Big John

Re: Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...
 

Thats looking good!!!

Re: Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...
 

Thank you Ken, but i'm deciding on what to do about the frame rails. They are stock lenght kh rails, and they will be to long as to the real truck. But I think it would turn easier to. Since I am different in a lot of way's lol, i'm thinking of leaving them be, and maybe adding some more tool boxes, maybe some air tanks, or whatever comes to mind.
If you all have idea's, I would like to hear them.

Thanx, Big John
