Classy Hawkeye
 

I have been working on this for a few weeks now. Just getting around to post pictures. I have a King Hauler. Also purchased pretty much every upgrade for it.
I started with a 6" stretch in the frame

Added an aftermarket front axle

I purchased these rear ends off a vendor on ebay

Then of course I had to have some authentic Peterbilt wheels from Steve at IHB

Also tried my hand at some body work. I have always like the standup bunk on the Peterbilt. Started cutting styrene and this is what I came up with. I didn't measure for scale, just eyeballed it and looks pretty close to me anyways.....

nice job on the sleeper!

Re: Classy Hawkeye
 

Looks great! Nice job. Can't wait to see colours on it!

Re: Classy Hawkeye
 

Wasn't happy with the front axle I had on the truck. Just wasn't tight enough, lots of slop in in it. I ordered an Integy front axle. This is a nice axle. No slop in it.

Re: Classy Hawkeye
 

ya keep going I want to see this bad boy!

Re: Classy Hawkeye
 

Great start man. A six inch stretch is a long tractor, good luck running her indoors lol.

Re: Classy Hawkeye
 

Yea she is a long one for sure. I have a 49" flat to pull behind it. All told a 5' 4" rig to drive. Our house isn't that big, should make for some real challenge :rolleyes:
