Well boys and girls, i've been busy the past two days.:p I've got most of the painting done, but I ran out of grabber green.:( I'll have to get some more for the allen screws on the rear wheels. Let me know what you think.:)

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

I think i like it Big John!!! Looks great, just gotta pull a grill on it ;) lol The green and black look great together!

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

LOOKING GOOD!!!!! One suggestion though, maybe try to mod the box in front of the center axle so it flows into the rear fender. You know so it matches the tool boxes. just a thought. But it still LOOKS GREAT!!!

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

Thanx buddy, yea it definitely needs a grill, lol.:p;):)

Thanx Ken, and another member suggested the same thing on the boxes. And I started to but backed off for now. If I do this, it will be after Indy.:):)

Here's an update, I got a pair of ihbuilder's (Steve's) air cleaners, and they are sweet.:D:) And when I was at Indy, I picked up a set of head lights and antennas from Ric. Now I have decided to go all green and the truck will be named "GREEN GOBLIN". After I re-paint the cab, I will get an aluminum drop visor, and hopefully one of Brians sweet grills.

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

Thanx buddy.:):):)

That looks sweet Big John! I really like the front fender flares. nice touch.

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

Truck is looking really sweet, great job. What type of drive shaft are you using in between the drive axles?

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

Thankyou Fred, I had some 1/4" rubber tubing, and went for it lol.:p:):eek:

Thankyou buddy, I used a PMD drive shaft. I just cut it to the lenght I needed. I thought the main shaft from a globe would work, but it was a bit short.:rolleyes:

Big John

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

Hey John, been a while since I checked your thread out. Your truck turned out really nice. I was going to ask you what you used for the rubber fender flares, but after looking closer, I can see it's just a masked off area, with your fender modifications, still dressed in black. It looks good.

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

This build is top notch, thought I liked the black and green but the all green is kicken. Nice job.

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

Thanx guy's, much appreciated.:):):):)

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

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

YAY an update!!! NOw get back to work on this beast! Looks good with the new visor!

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

Looks good!! Makes that truck look mean!! Keep those updates coming. Nice job John.

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

Looks great John! Amazing how much the visor really adds to the look compared to the stock one:cool:
Keep the updates coming :)

Mario

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

This bad boy looks mean so far. It looks ten times nicer with the gangster drop visor....what is your idea for exhaust?

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

Thankyou Aaron.:D

Thankyou Fred.:D

Thankyou Mario, and yes the visor does l@@k a lot better.:D

Thankyou BRICKNICK, "gangster", lol. As far as the exhaust goes, I talked to Russ at Indy, and were going to try to duplicate the 1:1 rig. There's a couple of pic's at the beginning of this thread.:D

Big John

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

Hey big John when I say "gangster" drop visor that's because that's what I've seen the low 16" drop visors called. Atleast that's what they are listed as in the Iowa 80 chrome shop catalog.

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

So Sick love it:p:p!
