Hello

This is another of my builds that some of you may have seen before but some of you may not have. This truck is one of my favorites in my collection. I started by updating the cab to a 05 or newer. The trailer is scratch built secept fro the odvious tires wheels ect. The trailer and truck bunk have working stake extensions the reach is telascopic and the compinsatror really works and has a bail latch on it. The truck also has a working quick change to 5th wheel and the slider really works. The cabguard is scratch built as well as the battery box and lift axle. I hope you all like it.

Mark

I love the color and the way it is set up.

After you left I was sitting in my Model room and thought I heard something calling me and found out it was the Lonestar. Yep I took a saw to it and converted the interior to fit the Day Cab. Was quite the project but it fit real snug and looks pretty good in there. Now to finish it up and then paint the whole thing.
