love the square fenders and the off road tires, they go well together.

Thanks Paul ,Steve,Arron ,Rob ,Jason,and Reg...Hope I didnt forget anyone..Anyway been hard at er and cant stop now ..I tried my hand at bending the 1/4 K&S tubing ..my bender works ok ..I first tried the stainless tube the tamiya has on the stacks but ended up just buckling..so the heaver walled k&S was my solution ..I did take my dremmel and a small stone and thinned out the tips ..maybe some black paint will give it the used look as welll ..Fabbed up some tanks as well ..slightly polished but still a used look as well..
Thanks for lookin

Have you considered filling the pipe up with soft solder, bend it, and melt it back out?
Nice progress!
Cheer's, Neil.

Lou, you sure were right about those decals. They look awesome on the mudflaps. Great work, now you have to make some for Greg and I!!!!

[Acadieman]

Very nice!
I'd like to build a Pacific or Hayes at some point. That's many years away though.

[BRICKNICK]

This truck looks great, I was wondering where yoi got the metal from to make the fuel tank step? Did you cut the pattern in it or does it come like that?

[Northwoods Timber toter]

Lou, outstanding work! You have giving me insaration for my next build, I have a tri-axle chassis waiting for cab and drive train. I think I may go with a Pacific as well, I got into looking them up and they are some workhorse looking rigs! I Love it! I was going to go with a lat 40's early 50's KW, But I think a Pacific will look better pulling my B-Train Log Bunks I got from RoadRanger. Keep up the good work, Your a true craftsmen!

Thanks NWTT..I picked a truck with flat fenders lol..this makes body work fairly simple..There are quite a few photos on Hanks truck pictures and http://www.pacifictruckclub.org/Phot...47%20to%201950
That is a nice B train ..would look great behind mine too ..lol..I do plan to haul some logs with mine as well and still want the fifth wheel for my flat deck and trummel

Thanks ..Added a bit of nastyness ..Havent had much time to work on it but did manage to do some bumper work ..Just taped the shackles there for now and not sure if im going to use them or not

[RCLaser]

Wow! Hard to tell if it is a 1:1 or a scale model
Very Nice

Thanks for sharing

Woah great work! (Nice trailer in the background)

Question: Do those tires fit on stock size kh rims? The fronts look great.

Looks good

[D8R]

Been a while since I have update the Pacific build ..Been busy with my new Cnc and getting famillar with the drawing program ..After some ajustment and trouble shooting i managed to mill a few wheels

This was one of my first trys but the machine was missing steps ..with some research i manage to remedy the problem

[Lmackattack]

The spokes really make the truck look tuff!

[tracksntreadslou]

Sorry about the photography on the last pics ..Iphone doesnt take the greatest photos ...I did a bit of painting on some of the parts i have been making as well .the front grill protector and the steps on the feul tanks ..Yup
Speedy i did add a top step as well ..Far from perfect but i think they look ok ..heres some better photos ..thanks for comments and looking
