k100 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) This is my latest project , I started it a few years ago I cut the cab down to a day cab the original plan was a single axle short city hauler, but I decided to go with duals. I also lower the cab by an 1/8 inch . Edited October 22, 2018 by k100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificEd Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I like this a lot. I've always wanted to build one as a single drive but the dual looks good. It reminds me of a Kroger truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nice work thus far ! I like the dual drive . I have only cut down one cab and that was a Peterbilt, haven't built the truck yet. I also did the Freightliner as a day cab with duals . And have plans to do a KW as well. So I will be watching this project . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
