I thought you all might like to follow along on my biggest project yet. Actually, it's only my second truck build, but still way bigger than the first.
My intent is to double the sleeper on a Grand Hauler, stretch the frame 6", and add a third driven rear axle. I'm sure other ideas/additions will come along as I build, but this is the base idea.
I'll be building this is stages as I save up the money to buy the parts, so please be patient as there may be lulls in the action.

Now I'm ready for paint. I should have waited for my grey primer to come in instead of using the white. Mainly because the one body was factory painted black and I had to use a thicker coat of white primer than I would have liked. However, good model detail still remains. I'll just have to be careful with my finish coat.
Once I get the body painted, I'll post that up. I'm supposed to get my frame extensions on Tuesday, so I'll begin that process then.
I hope you find this interesting. I know it sure is fun for me.
