Re: looking for hardware
You can get a lot of stuff you will need from Fastenal. I just bought 3mm screws in a bag of 100 for about $3

Re: bigfords trucks
How do those hoods look when you get them? Are they a lot of work to prep for paint? I've been interested in one for my next build.

Re: King Hauler finally started

This is the best looking set in my opinion: ...

Re: Forum Veterans?
Cool, like I said I was just wondering.
Hoping to make it to Indy next year (with a trailer too). Ex-wife payments end in 10 months, so $500 a month toward my toys!!!!!

Re: Hay Hauler
Well you can use just about anything to make a core. I have seen people simply fold up a cardboard box too.
Looking forward to more on this build, keep it up. Nice work

Re: My First Truck Build
Thanks guys. I have parts being collected for a winter upgrade. There is a lot you can do with these trucks to really make them your own creation.

Re: Green Globe First Build
Came out great. Drive it around and enjoy it while you collect upgrade parts for a "winter upgrade project". I agree with Bigford, tankers look great behind cabovers.

Re: Smiley's Garage/Shade tree mechanic
I actually used to drive a Milk Truck on a route like that, except it had 2 lift axles ahead of the drivers as well as one behind. Big 4500 gallon tank on it.
