Those are two of the best looking pete's I have seen in a while the detail is sick. I am sure the owner of those two trucks will be floored. GREAT JOB.

Tasty looking lights! Are there lenses in the bumper for those oval or elongated marker lights?

Thanks Nate... The elongated lenses and the light layout were key to the scale look of the front of this truck...

Looking good Paul, I agree with truckmaker, it just keeps getting better. The lights are awesome, and neat job on the wiring.

BRICKNICK 01-26-2014 08:56 PM

Re: Bull It Angus 379 Build "HOT IRON"
 
Paul do you just wire all the marker light to a battle switch or do you just runn them all to a light controller like the mfu or servonaut?

MACK Daddy 01-26-2014 11:17 PM

Thanks very much Nick.. The owner wanted all the chicken lights to run off one switch truck and trailer so all of them will run off the battle switch this time. The extra cab lights will run off the mfu..

Really nice work on this one, Paul. The lights are great. This truck has more lights on it than any of your past builds, I'm guessing? I love a truck all lit up. Will there be some photos of it hooked to a grain trailer at some point? I think a cattle trailer would look great behind this one too.

Lmackattack 02-16-2014 09:59 PM

Re: Bull It Angus 379 Build "HOT IRON"
 
Wow...really looks like the real thing....love the detail work! I like how the pusher axel fits in perfect.....

Thanks Nate.. The real truck wears many coats Wesley has a tri-axle belly dump,tri-axle bull rack,spread step, detach lowboy, tall side hopper, spread reefer so yes we will get some picks with it with my Bull rack and belly dump but I am building a Hopper bottom to match his hopper as we speak so there will be some picks..
