359 Pete

Looking really good -
Getting some direction in this build. Gathered a ton of photos and measurements to build a logging truck like my neighbor’s truck. Got the 26ft truck bed and the 26ft trailer bed roughed out. Got some parts ordered from STSupply and a K100 to steal the correct suspension for the truck. Now I can get the frame length figured out.

Geez, I need to get more kits, I am behind you guys. I only have 52 truck kits, over 30 trailers and two drawers full of aftermarket resin cabs and parts. Oh, and not counting the car kits I have -
Going thru all the kits I have and decided the next build will be a combination of a nearly completed frame I built a couple years ago, a T600 Kenworth kit for the, lights , cab and interior and miscellaneous parts, a twin steer kit from (I have no clue), wide front steering tires/rims. Will need to find/build a 60 in flat top sleeper. Truck will be built with a 20ft flat bed and possibly pulling a 20ft flat bed trailer. My builds always seem to be very fluid and change as I progress. A quick mockup. I went thru my kits to just find a kit to build right from the box, simple and easy. Sometimes I have no idea why I do what I do. Just no explanation. the inspiration
