    What truck did your steer axle come out of? A Pete or a different make? If a different make did you have to change anything on the axle to get it to fit in your Pete like steering knuckles or did it bolt right in? Great job on a cool looking truck!

    Thank you. The axle came out of the same model Peterbilt and went right in. All I had to do was remove the spacer block dowel pins and swap the hubs because the axle came with ball seat hubs.

    those smooth clean lines!!
    I would consider selling my 1st born to fund my time off to create a master piece like this!!
    I can imagine this thread will create some motivation around the world to do some or all of the things you have done here!!

    Got the lights back in. Hopefully I'll get the visor from the paint shop on Friday so I can put it on. It needs the visor!
