Pete 379 dirt hauler (update 6/3/12)

[Roadmasters]

Well at the ecmt meet this weekend we got a great deal on a frame and super 8 air ride from Russ, thanks again! Got back to the hotel room and couldn't help but to start digging in. Russ had the suspension dropped, so I had to return the front end to the stock height and removed the stock suspension and began assembling the "super 8" suspension. We also won a pmd headache rack in the raffle at the meet.... Sweet!

The chassis as it was when we got it:


A bag of KFC and 2 hours later:


This suspension is pretty sweet:


Got it permenantly mounted when I got home today, not sure if the frame is getting shortened yet (it's about 27 inches), but I will definatly be tapering the ends:


Not sure what paint scheme I'm going with yet, but I'm leaning towards these two, especially the blue and tan:



Also at the meet we picked up a set of johns stacks and fenders and some of Russ's tank hangers for it. I should have a body in a week or two, so keep an eye out for updates!
