The new slim Jim rack is a perfect fit Craig.
It's funny to hear that Claus is hoping for something from Santa? Lol
I noticed something about the sweet pipes from John. For a more realistic look I carefully painted the inside of the pipes with flat black to look like exhaust soot rather than seeing the remnants of the chroming process. I'm sure it's on your to do list, just thought I'd mention it
Very nice work, I love this truck!

Craig, your truck's improved appearance is looking awesome! I like the thinner locker much more then the original, and Lynn did a really nice job with tail light panel. I really like his bezels. I can't wait to start finding a use for the ones I bought from him.

Thanks Nathan, it's coming together slowly. Funny looking back at where it started though, these Wedicos need a lot of help!

Thank you, I was very happy Steve was willing to make another headache rack, I was planning on having the other one milled down but this was easier!

Been working on the truck a little bit, going 8X8 with the help of some new ScaleArt diffs and springs. Going to have to go back to the drawing board though to get the ride height where I want it. 3:1 ratio and locking diffs should head my truck in the direction I'm wanting to go. A Veroma 3 speed is the next thing coming.

That's some serious metal, Craig. I'm glad your parts arrived safe and sound. The axles and rear suspension looks great. I like how the walking beams fit perfect for the tri-drive. I'm craving more photos of those axles. They sure look good in black!

Craig, all I can say is wow! I now fully understand why you called it hillbilly DELUXE !
That scale art stuff is killer look, but also killer pocket book effect

Thanks for the update, looking forward to more

Really a nice truck. Don't know if this has been asked yet but what color red is that? Waiting to get my first truck, the Knight Hauler.
