Peterbilt Heavy Hauler

[KJ790]

All of these heavy hauler builds lately has me itching for a build. I need something to pull the lowboy I just finished, so I thought I would make a heavy hauler from a snap Pete. I am thinking I will cut it down to a daycab, add a drop axle, move the fuel tanks forward, maybe even modify the cab and hood to be a short hood 379. One thing I need to decide is what tires I want to use on the front,

Highway tread:

Or a heavy duty offroad tread:

I like the first one, but where do you get the wheels/tires in the first pic? I'm so wanting a set of those for one of my builds.

The rims are from the Can-Do kit thanks to Mike77 on this forum. The tires are my own which I sell through http://kdhumphr.wix.com/double-take-replicas

KJ,

For my money I would say go with the street tires! unless you have some heVY TREAD ON/OFF ROAD TIRES TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND.

Be Well

Well if you want to make a Heavey a Hauler you could go with a Michigan Train. That is on my future to-do list.

Nice start,and I would go with the first set of tires.
