Thanks for all that information, found it really helpful. I'll get extra clear and try different paints because I will be tinting the windows to hide the electronics. Not putting the seats and stuff, doubt I'll have room for them.

Started test fitting some parts that came in. Drop Visor from ebay, Rc4wd Grill, Steve's Bumper and Air Cleaners. Bodywork should be done by next week, so then the Garden square pete lights can be mounted. Figured I show something since Reg has posted the start of the box.

The truck looks really good! So does the dump box Reg is doing for you, nice style. Should turn out to be a real nice truck. Are you going to have the dump bed painted or raw? What color are you going to paint the truck?

Is the construction trailer to pull behind the dump? Just saw it and was wondering. Did that with mine. The orange isn't that bad.

Yes that trailer is going to be pulled behind this. Orange didn't match the paint scheme I have in mind. Was bored today so I was messing around with some stuff. Put the stacks on. Hope to have this ready before the Half round gets here.




Then I cut the Aeromax sleeper off and put it on the King Rails just to see how it would look with the other box I have.




Maybe I'll have shorter rails made or possibly do something like this.

Sounds and looks good! For the frame rails, Semi Joe on Ebay sells different lengths and pre drilled for the King Hauler and others. (uncoated in silver look) When I post about him I seem to get grief from others, but I've dealt with him many times and no problems on my end. Check him out, makes life easier. Looks like your about 2" too long.

I got it to work. Here is how it sits. Yeah my livingroom is my work area lol


Goal is to have the truck done by Cabin Fever 2016. So I can attend my first show with at least a working rig.
