I started with a new frame 26 inches long with FH12 frame rail tips.


Next to shorten the sleeper by a 1 1/4

Then I cut the fenders off and angled the nose down and I lowered the sleeper to match the roof of the cab.



Now to start filling the hood back in.

Now to build the fenders, I built them out of 1/8 to make them good and strong.


Now I had to modd some stock KH air cleaners to match the ones on the real truck.

Air cleaner on the fender.

Now I built the tire rack for the back of the cab and I got building and did not take picks but here are some afters. All alum sheet and angle taped and screwed together with a chain rack on the passenger side.





Now to build the drum winch. I am not going to make the winch itself work but it will work. :-/

Heres the parts we need..

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Ok here is how I am making the winch work. i am mounting one of the good scale German winches. the winch that started all the other winches nice thing about these is they will pull ALOT of weight with out breaking.




Then I mounted a fair led in the top of the deck for the cable to come threw and wrapped the cable around the drum. So when you run the winch teh drum will turn .
