King Hauler Mods
The best truck I feel by far in 1:1 scale is the Peterbuilt Flat top truck and the king hauler is the closest Tamiya semi made to it..The things that differ the King Hauler for the real Flat top is the shape of the front fenders and the head lights but that is it them would hard things to change but the easy things to change are the stax's and the rear of the cab..Most flat tops have a rear window in the sleeper and run 6 to 8 inch stright stax's so I have changed them 2 things on mine made the stax's out of 1/2 inch alum. tubing and polished them and then just cut the window in the cab but I have not gotten the tinted glass for it yet..I have also added the 3 rear red in color parking lights and the 2 on the sleeper..Comments welcome let me know what you guys think...

Why is the left stack longer than the right in the second photo? Perhaps I need to re-calibrate my eyes.

recalibrate sir

That's a sweet looking rig. I think the color goes great with the decals and chrome. Great job!
