Bill Signs trucking truck...not excactly...

Looks like you're off to a good start on those frame rail ramps. Might be kind of neat if you could contract a guy to machine you those pieces out of aluminum. Nothing wrong with styrene though! Nice work.

Thanx Nathan, I thought of the aluminum myself.
But if I do, it will have to wait 'til after christmas.

Well everyone, I have some news. I did some bartering with firefighter-1177, and in the trade, I got a king hauler rolling chassis, and a 48' spread axle flatbed body.
Now here's my delima
I have several options for the truck. I could build as the Bill Signs truck, a day cab pete, stretch the frame and super size the sleeper, or since I have a bruder mixer body, I could build a mixer. Now I went ahead and moved the front axle foward to look more like a pete, stretched the hood by 1/2" put the fuel tanks under the doors, put a headache rack on just to see which way I want to go.
And added a texas bumper. Here is a few pic's to show what i've done.











I still need to do a little more body work. I would really appreciate any input on which way I should go. I know it's my truck, but I need some guidence.

Thanx for looking, Big John
