Default my now 1.9 f350 flatbed

This F350 is using a k2-3L chassis and a pede trans,
the bed is made out of pine slats that i picked up at wally world for $1.98 and then stained them cherry. The top is painted Tamiya Gun Metal and the wheels are Hpi stock cars, and the tires are narrowed and reduced proline mashers (tire work done by Zack ) he does killer work.

this next picture shows the double shock rear suspension that i use because this thing weighs a ton with all the steel that i have used to make the bed frame and rear bumper

the next two pictures show the functioning head/tail lights


The narrowed tires

the mandatory flex shot

the new custom rock sliders that i made yesterday

thanks for looking at my post..

Nice work fathead. Too bad you gave up that sweet military hummer for this. But it came out great. You stole the color scheme for my new scaler tho!

The more scratches the better, Utah boys aren't afraid of driving their rigs.

Sorry for the sh!ty pic I can't find my camera.

Just recieved this can't wait to but scratches on this thing. Wonder if Fathead could make rack for this thing?

Should I flat black this thing or run up in Montana as it is?


I can't wait for this weekend!!!!!

That's where that thing went! Is it going on your green highlift or something else? If its going on the green I would paint it Tamiya German Gray. That's what I painted my warpig and I think it would look good with your green.

I actaully re-painted the the truck flat black last night. I wanted to show fresh scratches from the Montana trip. So maybe I'll flat black the shell.
