Hexagram Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I like your rims which kit did you get them from, been looking for a set with the 8 holes. I like the truck too, to much short beds. The long boxes need love too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlopez209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 The rims are actually from a jimmie johnson nascar kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagram Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks saved me from buying every nascar kit i could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I really like this build. I used to own a truck like this slammed on 20s with flames all the way back to the middle of the bed but it was also an extended cab. Thing was huge! Can't wait to see what you do with it, what kit is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlopez209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 this truck is from the usa 1 monster truck kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Really, I never would of thought. Where did you get the long bed from, was that included in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlopez209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I think i want to make this a shop truck and put this engine in the back and strap it down to the bed i still have to clean up the inside of the bed and build and encloser after i finish the frame Edited March 31, 2012 by Rlopez209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rlopez209 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 @jason yes the bed was included i think the kit is the older version not the newly released one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Sweet, I'll have to look into that kit. I like we're your taking the build, shop truck is a great idea. A nice little motor stand with straps with that motor would look killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweb7321 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I love it. I've been wanting to build a bagged truck for a while. If your looking for options to make the bags I have a suggestion you could try, the little rubber cushions that hold the laser and motor in place in most portable cd players (most of us have at least one or two broken ones laying around) look just like a double convoluted bag with the top cup bracket already on. keep up the good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm interested to see how you work out the frame. It's looking good. Keep it going, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
