Default Freightliner dump truck
Since I ran out of parts for the new lowboy I started on the cab today for my new dump truck I decided to build something a little different and don't remember seeing a Knight Hauler made into a dump truck. Here are some pics of the progress on the cab.













Thanks for looking.
Travis

That should look real nice. It will be different, that's nice to see. Another "out of the ordinary" build out of the "00" stables.

Thanks and I have found that multiple projects gives me something to do when I need a break from one of the other projects.

I am thinking about using the D35 from RC4WD that Katan mentioned instead of the TLT and I am not sure about the front tires yet.

Corey it is actually parts from the sleeper off of a King Hauler the sleeper on a Knight is squared off and I wanted it to be more round. I always save leftover parts just for this occasion. I need to get a measurement of a D35 from the outside of the hubs not including the hexes.
