KJ790 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) All of these heavy hauler builds lately has me itching for a build. I need something to pull the lowboy I just finished, so I thought I would make a heavy hauler from a snap Pete. I am thinking I will cut it down to a daycab, add a drop axle, move the fuel tanks forward, maybe even modify the cab and hood to be a short hood 379. One thing I need to decide is what tires I want to use on the front, Highway tread: Or a heavy duty offroad tread: Edited February 25, 2015 by KJ790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like the first one, but where do you get the wheels/tires in the first pic? I'm so wanting a set of those for one of my builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) The rims are from the Can-Do kit thanks to Mike77 on this forum. The tires are my own which I sell through http://kdhumphr.wix.com/double-take-replicas Edited February 25, 2015 by KJ790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubiconGuy11 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well if you want to make a Heavey a Hauler you could go with a Michigan Train. That is on my future to-do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
