This is an older rebuild I did. It was originally built by someone else...i just squared up the already stretched frame...repainted the frame, and made all the stainless parts for it including the wrapped rear bumper that my good friend Chas was officially the first person in 1/64 to build a wrapped rear bumper....LOL Its paired up with a matching wilson purple framed spred flatbed.

this is the bumper I'm talkin about

As always...thanks for looking.

I have never seen any before. That's an awesome truck. I like all of the stainless parts.

hey steiger... in real trucker life guys usually stretch one for show purposes. sometimes its necessary lets say you want to add a tag axle... down here in Texas you see alot of working show trucks...meaning guys take their everyday trucks and customize them to their likeing. this truck is stretched to 350 scale inches...i dont really like them over 300. hope this little bit of info helps ya. thanks,Jason.

I see metal hauling trucks being stretch out but not that far.
