I like the updated version of this truck. There is something about going old school, you can't beat it!!

[Espeefan]

Nice updates! The headlights and headlight bezel surrounds catch my eye. Those look great. Any hints as to where you got them, or how you made them?

[Diesel Demond]

That looks awesome. The Kenworth is very sharp. The Peterbilt must have been in for service - needed the fuel turned up so it could chase down a Valiant? Quite a contrast between trucks. One is all shiny and the other came out of a junk yard.

Thats going to look great big D.

thanks wolf it is finally done!!!

The rear doors on the reefer look great. Maybe what you need now is a couple red bunk lights to shine and reflect off that polished headboard on the trailer!

i like the tank under the trailer. not something you see in the rc world. it's a good touch

That is BAD TO THE BONE!!! "And best of all I don't pay property tax".

BAD *** beautiful truck.... I have one question though. I noticed everyone building these B.J. and Bear trucks keep forgetting to add the gold pin stripe that goes around the black stripe around cab.I am not sure if anyone noticed that or if it would be to hard to try and replicate being that is a thin line. I am not trying to take anything away from this build or any of the others just mentioning it...Great work.

I think it turned out great. Another Late 70s Classic looking Rig is nice to see. What did you use for the rear door and trailer sides. I have been looking for that for a van trailer I was building

the trailer sides come with the tamiya box trailer .the rear doors i custom made the diamond pattern shape and covered it with mirror polish thin chrome wrap they use on r/c airplane wings etc.
