Re: daycab overhaul

I like the steps. They really add to the look!

Re: daycab overhaul

Russ does a great job on those steps. If I may offer my 2 cents of advice - I'd suggest raising the headache rack up higher, so that it's top is level with the top of the cab roof. Otherwise, it's looking great.

Re: daycab overhaul

Wow man, really clean build! I agree the headache rack looks awesome.:) >Marty<

Re: daycab overhaul

Great additions to your rebuild, Wow really looks awesome

Re: daycab overhaul

Hey truckers I really like the finished product, steves wheels will really finish it off. I think you really nailed the working beauty look, I think there is some little things to add to the consistence of the truck, I just did to mine and it really add to the realisim. You should black out the wipers, and do a little Chrome trim around the windshield and doors, I used a Chrome paint marker. It looks more like brushed aluminum finish instead of chrome. If you'd like I can show you a pic of mine, just a suggestion. Overall the truck looks good.

Re: daycab overhaul

hey bricknick i would like to see a pic and where did you get the marker you used:D

Re: daycab overhaul

That truck is awsome!:D.
I love the color,and it has a nice stance.

Re: daycab overhaul

thanks troy i just wish i could paint as good as you:D

Re: daycab overhaul

Hey trucker, sorry it took so long and sorry about the crappy pics....heres the "windshield molding". I used a sharpie brand Sharp silver paint marker I bought at my local arts and crafts store, A.C. Moore.

Re: daycab overhaul

Yea man no problem, it looks better in the lite not to mention I just realized I focused on the part i fudged. I don't have the steadiest hand lol....

Re: daycab overhaul

Looks sweet, great color choice

Re: daycab overhaul

Lookin good Neil. :cool:

How do you find the axle flex with the new air ride?

Re: daycab overhaul

have not drove it yet but as far as weight carring i put some losi mini rockcrawler springs inside and it will carry alot more than stock:D

Re: daycab overhaul

Looks good, just curious why you have the remains of the old suspension side plate? That's got to go, doesn't do your painted frame and custom parts any justice. Love all the polished aluminum in your build.

Re: daycab overhaul

thats not the side plate where i took the plate of now i have to paint;)

Re: daycab overhaul

It will look great after you repaint but what a kick in the paints in the mean time.

Re: daycab overhaul

Wow, that's a huge transformation! I can't believe the difference in changes. I remember when you used to go mud bogging with this truck, and now it looks more like a show truck. Hopefully you keep it on the high and dry roads now. Russ's suspension looks awesome on there. Just repaint the frame rails and you'll be good to go!

Re: daycab overhaul

The suspension upgrade looks good!

Brian

Re: daycab overhaul

looking good!!

kind of looks like you need some shorter springs or dose it level out when you have the trailer on?

Re: daycab overhaul

could be a tad shorter but it would bottom out when i have my excavator on the trailer;)
