Great looking build, very much enjoying following your build posts. What is the source for the aluminum rear ends (differentials)?

Thank you for the information,

Jim

Thank you for the information,

thanks Jim
I really cant remember where I got them, maybe rcbmin.com or rigid.com , they are just shells and uses tamiya differential parts so they aren't that pricey

I'm curious, why is it popular to move the front axle forward, and cut the front fenders like you have?
Thanks!!

I fucking hate these trucks sometimes, got this pretty awesome "kenworth" frontend from shapeways, everything is dandy, cut the hood of my king hauler, minor rebuild in front of the windscreen, so I'm sitting here at my work table smiling planning everything can't wait to ship it of to the painter, even talked to the painter yesterday, bragging about how great its gonna be when it get the custom blend green paint I got made for it, and then I kinda look at my new hood, and my polished aluminum grill doesn't fit, it's about half an inch to low, so now I got around 7 pounds of aluminium parts, just about ready to throw everything out the window...
