  1. Ended up building dual wheels, mocked up a different set of fenders, kinda like the way it looks. Need to finish detailing the suspension and brakes.
  2. When I updated the front axle I noticed it was slightly narrower than the axle that came in the kit which allowed the option of running wider tires without sticking out past the fenders, they are even with the edge of the fender. The wider tires fit the theme of the truck/trailer.
  3. Wow, very nice build, love the colors
  4. Outstanding build, great improvements and detail. ?
  5. First time building rear fenders from scratch, think I will thin the face down just a little more but I did match the curve of the fairings. Also needs a radius on the edges , see where this goes
  6. Agree with Justin, one of my favorite trucks, looking forward to what you build.
  7. Mocked up one more time using the aero skirts from the Canepa kit, a set of wide singles. Think I will try to make rear fender from scratch but I am going with this idea.
  8. I would be interested in rear fenders (hump style or flat style) for a tandem axle and/or triple axle
  9. Yup, I agree on the fairings on the newer style trucks.
  10. Modifications really look appropriate, nice work.
  11. Progress, built and installed the correct suspension in the rear, used correct front axle, stretched frame, tag air axle roughly installed. A quick mock-up.
  12. I have two or three different lift axles to choose from, so yes I will take a look how it fits or use a different unit.
  13. Thanks James for all the info. Dug thru my stash and found a kit (purchased from Hobby Lobby on sale)with what looks to be the correct pieces I need to correct the suspension. Looked up all those tips and printed them and put in binder to get organized before I start the build.
  14. Outstanding build
  15. What trucks would have had this engine?
  16. Thanks James, doing some internet research, looks like there where several different suspensions offered. Also did not realize that there was a T600B as well. I will go thru these pages you sent.
  17. Thanks for the input, that helps. I actually have the K100 I can steal from and a Detroit, not sure about the front suspension update. Was there ever a twin turbo Detroit offered from the factory in any truck?
  18. What are some other things that you would change?
