This is a truck I have been working on since Christmas, inspired by a truck I saw at the Oswestry Truck Fest. Has the full MFC unit fitted all hidden in the sleeper cab so it can still have seats and dash (and carpet), the vibration unit is hidden under front above the servos. The front and rear bumper and upper chassis cover were made by a mate (confucius), visor was made by a guy in states, and the swan emblem, rear lenses and mudflaps are from Garden Trucking. I am waiting on the rear fenders to arrive and it will then be finished (time to get on with trailer then)








I like this shot too..



The truck that inspired it....

Proper job there sir! Very nice indeed and great to work from such a 1:1 source as that!

That's a sweet replica! Nice job! If you ever were to sell it, offer it to the owner of the 1:1, he'd be all over it!

Nice rig mate. You planning on building a boat trailer for that ?

What a beast of a truck. You really did a great job with it!

Sorry photos not showing at moment as TC Photos is offline due to the hacking TC suffered a short while back but I have since done more work on my truck... started on trailers (I plan to run 2 using a single axle dolly to join them). Flat bed trailers painted to match the King Hauler, and after my recent trip to the model boat show I found a 1/12 scale crane which although is not true to scale I think its close enough. I think load will be pallets of bricks etc.



THis is how the cab looks at moment, still waiting on fenders.

That is a mean looking truck Biggus. Great job on the build, looking forward to seeing it finished.

[Skottoman]

Great work on the flatbed! Matching color, and the crane looks plenty in scale.

Cheers,

Not done much on this lately, but finally got the 2nd trailer painted and the hitch for dolly sorted and was able to connect them all for first time earlier, a little drive around the back yard as a test. Will give it a proper test run at weekend at our boat clubs mini fun day.







Still loads of things to do but nice to have it as a runner now.
