The new slim Jim rack is a perfect fit Craig.
It's funny to hear that Claus is hoping for something from Santa? Lol
I noticed something about the sweet pipes from John. For a more realistic look I carefully painted the inside of the pipes with flat black to look like exhaust soot rather than seeing the remnants of the chroming process. I'm sure it's on your to do list, just thought I'd mention it:)
Very nice work, I love this truck!:cool:

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig, your truck's improved appearance is looking awesome! I like the thinner locker much more then the original, and Lynn did a really nice job with tail light panel. I really like his bezels. I can't wait to start finding a use for the ones I bought from him.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Nathan, it's coming together slowly. Funny looking back at where it started though, these Wedicos need a lot of help!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig, that looks really great! Fantastic!...

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

yes that truck is forsure sweet looking. And that is sweet of steve to help you out like that. the thinner box looks great and more 1:1. the rear light assembly is a very nice touch.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Frank!!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thank you, I was very happy Steve was willing to make another headache rack, I was planning on having the other one milled down but this was easier!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

I like the thinner rack MUCH better!!! Looks perfect on there!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Aaron, now I need a lowboy like yours!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Looking great! Glad you got her thinned down a bit. Is right at home

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks Rod! Should we make this one a smoker? If only that smoke fluid came in black!

Been working on the truck a little bit, going 8X8 with the help of some new ScaleArt diffs and springs. Going to have to go back to the drawing board though to get the ride height where I want it. 3:1 ratio and locking diffs should head my truck in the direction I'm wanting to go. A Veroma 3 speed is the next thing coming.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

wow, those axles and suspension should be classified as truck porn..

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

That's some serious metal, Craig. I'm glad your parts arrived safe and sound. The axles and rear suspension looks great. I like how the walking beams fit perfect for the tri-drive. I'm craving more photos of those axles. They sure look good in black!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Craig, all I can say is wow! I now fully understand why you called it hillbilly DELUXE !:eek::D:cool:
That scale art stuff is killer look, but also killer pocket book effect:eek:

Thanks for the update, looking forward to more :)

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Thanks guys! Still looking at the front suspension, I have Wedico, Osswald and ScaleArt, none of them really please me but we'll see.

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

more eye candy!

Re: HillBilly Deluxe
 

Serious drool factor... Leaving now before I make a mess!

Really a nice truck. Don't know if this has been asked yet but what color red is that? Waiting to get my first truck, the Knight Hauler.
