Oh ok. Out here ive seen similiar style end dumps 45 foot. In fact ive been seeing a trailer very similar to the kit, tri axle and all, havent been able to snap a pic. Its pretty beat up and sagging in the middle, even the frame is sagging.

This trailer is 2 dump bodies put together. Out of the box is rough half this length.

Looks cool. Kinda has a, if Christine were an El Camino feel. Good job.

That would be really cool if they would release or re-release it with the aerodyne.

It appears to be the same but the prostar has a floor shifter option.

That metallica album, created "anger" didnt it.

Very nice man. Just gotta love wheel base.

They have 2 of them that their #1 and #2 in seniority have. They put a ton of money into those 2 trucks. They are really nice in person. Lots of little custom fabrication was done.

This was passing me today. 1 of the GSF, Mcdonalds, Lonestar day cab show trucks. Heres a better pic of it a few months ago. This is not my pic, just a little disclosure to CMA

I really like 660s when theyre lowered a bit in the front and of course stretched.

Ive noticed. It seems to be more reliable. Posting and loading pics seems to be better too.

Looking good Terry. Awhile back, there was a guy building something like it, but RC. I dont know what ever happened to it.

Thanks Gregg and all who keep this forum up for us to enjoy. I agree with what people saying, it is a free forum and the switch was inconvenient, but if it keeps the forum up and running smooth, it was worth it. THANKS!

JT, you should repost the pics of you 53 footer and that big sleeper pete.

Thanks for link. There were some pics that will need to be reposted or are gone. That is a nice pickup. I wish i could afford a payment. I drive past a black almost identical to it. I just drool and dream.

I dont really care for zeppelin either. Im not big on pink floyd or the beatles. Yes, they made some great music, its just not for me. Same goes for the "hair bands", there are some good songs and some really, really bad songs. There are a few zep songs i like, but not many.

Great work man. I need to find out where to get some that stuff. I like how you did the chains on the flaps to keep them sailing in the wind. Your kickin them out left and right. Your gonna need a bigger garage.

That looks really good. I hope they reissue the dumper soon, i need a few or a few cases. Did you use wire?

Just had this pass me.

I built the Lonestar, and in process of building the Prostar. They build up nice. As far as issues, they have pretty much same issues. For me, i prefer the longer wheel base trucks, like the Lonestar. Thats why i stretched my Prostar. From a design stand point, i think the Prostar is a better looking truck. Im planning on building both again, maybe a few more of each. My only gripe is the Peostar is too short. Do some research, look at builds of both. Ive been waiting to build the Prostar till i knew what issues there were so i could address them before they are an issue. The hood groove issue on the Prostar is just a matter of getting the radiator assembly too far back.

That stretch made a world of difference on this 1. Kinda like the prostar, made way too short in my opinion. These KWs need a bit more wheelbase more than anything, just like yours. This looks great JT.

It didnt take much thinkin for me. I do miss drivin that truck, but my health is and the wife happier. Thats important part, happier wife!

I hauled powder cement and sand. If you go to a Home Depot or Lowes out here, chances are it was in that trailer. We hauled to a bagging facilty that bagged for those 2, regular cement, concrete mixes and Rapid Set cement. I was a company driver and that company didnt pay very well, ran "creative" hours. It was really effecting my health and family life. So i found employment elsewhere, making more money, less hours, but not so nice of equipment. The shiny decked out truck wont make up for a small, but the bigger check more than makes up for a dirty truck.

This is what i used to drive. This pic was taken at the 1st truck show i attended as a participant and won 2 1st place trophies, truck and trailer, 1st place lite the lot and 1st place for aluminum tanker.

Try this again since the forum crashed.
