Super cool truck! I like the fact that he uses it to tow a goose neck!! The engine looks like a Detroit maybe?

thanks, ya truth on the king hauler, but i need the frame rails from it. since i am building the king hauler too, but using a longer frame. i have a bruder mack cab here that i was going to channel, chop, and section for the cab.

sound box might be a bit of a problem. don't see a lot of room to put it in, but i will look to see what i can do.

as for the pissed off pete. seen it, looked it over. not what i want. too shinny! there are lots of others out there too, but this one is as Msmaddie said, "down right sexy"!

That's cool! I've never seen anything like that. Sure, I saw the Peterbilt hot rods, but this one actually works and so it has more value to it. Those others, well, they will probably spend more time on a trailer, then pulling one!

Great concept. If you wanted to retain some of the look and usage of the bed, you could make it slightly deeper with a false bottom, ie, hide your electronics underneath and still have an actual bed with even a dummy or possibly functional 5th wheel.

I was kind of looking at doing this with my current King Hauler body - I think I want to get another body and start over with my dice and slice. Since the hood is off mine, it would work well for the Piss'd Off Pete...

All I can say is I am shocked you just hacked up a $250 cab. That cab is one of the hardest ones to find or should I say impossible to find. To get one of the cheap trucks it comes off of is almost 250 just to get it here to the states and the cab is all that is used. On the other hand it should be a good project and you will now have a lot of pressure from those watching to make this one look good.
