Default General Pete project

Hi this is my first post besides the welcome one and its of my project that im calling General Pete i have a king hauler that i just got about 1 month ago so far i have done some minor upgrades to it that i can do when budget allows lol But for it i plan to get some decals made to go on the top like the general lee but the words saying generel pete. i plan to do a strech of the frame but not like some of the trucks ive seen on here im looking at the 2 inch extensions from pmd so it looks like a normal truck so i have some pics of the upgrades i have done like a hood ornament and some half emblems from pmd and soon ill have me some new rubber for the rear from rcmid but heres pics of it as of now and will have a vid up on youtube here shortly of it with the lights i got on it.

Nice looking Pete...simple but classic....not sure if I'm seeing it right but they have low pro tires on the drives...I haven't seen that on a standard freight truck....do they only haul van trailers?

Nothing like some good chunky heavey duty tyres to improve the look of any truck eh?
Have quite a few here myself and have been upgrading all my trucks with them.
Keep up the great work
