Started with stock King Hauler. First thing was to cut the frame and lengthen it 4 1/2 inches. New frame section was provided by my brothers Maker Bot plastic printer.

The 3d printed steps turned out nice. needed to widen the front fenders a little so that they would be the same width as the rear fenders. so a set of fender flares did the trick, along with a little body work and primer. Still debating what color I want to paint it.



Now just waiting for the parts i ordered for the dump bed to show up.

Nice job! It's a good size truck and should get around very well.

I was able to do a lot of work on the truck over the holiday weekend. paint work done and the ride is almost complete and ready for its first load of pay dirt. Just have to finish adding a set of shocks to the rear tandems and i also ordered a matching set of marker lights to add to the front rear fenders.

still debating on adding a set of mud flaps or fenders on the rear tandems.

If you are wondering why the paw prints it is because the only way i could tackle this build is if i built it for my wife, she happens to be a Vet Tech. I just hope she will let me play with it too. But if not i have an Excavator i am building for myself so i can at least load it. I will start a build post for it soon. I will upload some videos of the truck soon.
