Classy Hawkeye

[Stretch379]

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


Have a rolling chassis now



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.....



Still have lots of goodies to put on this build.Thanks for looking......Barry

nice job on the sleeper!

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

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.







Had to see how she looks


Made my "whale tail" and put it on


Got to get going on this build. I lose my build site when the holidays start rolling around

ya keep going I want to see this bad boy!

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

[Stretch379]

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
