Freightliner dump truck
 
Since I ran out of parts for the new lowboy I started on the cab today for my new dump truck I decided to build something a little different and don't remember seeing a Knight Hauler made into a dump truck. Here are some pics of the progress on the cab.

That should look real nice. It will be different, that's nice to see. Another "out of the ordinary" build out of the "00" stables.

Thanks and I have found that multiple projects gives me something to do when I need a break from one of the other projects.

There is a purple one that runs around here with a polished Tebco bed on it.

I am thinking about using the D35 from RC4WD that Katan mentioned instead of the TLT and I am not sure about the front tires yet.

I need to figure out which one I want to use on my new truck. I'm just not experianced enough with them to know which one I should use with wider fronts.

That cab looks close to the Mack Titan cab too.... with a little modification.

Corey it is actually parts from the sleeper off of a King Hauler the sleeper on a Knight is squared off and I wanted it to be more round. I always save leftover parts just for this occasion. I need to get a measurement of a D35 from the outside of the hubs not including the hexes.

Like the rounded back for sure. We are sold out on d 35's otherwise I would measure one up for you.
