Nice color choices. Tasteful. That's going to be very easy on the eyes.

Out of curiosity, what are your plans for the wheels? Alloy? Chrome? Painted steel?

Wheels are Alcoa Hots Shots. Chosen because they have a similar look to the Halibrands and they look good as duals. If you go back you will see the rear wheels are on. I had to import three steel wheels from Canada for the spare and the inner duals.

Nice wheels. That is going to be a mighty fine looking truck.

srry if you had already said this but what are you going to do with this truck?

You build it because you can then you - Drive it, show it and just enjoy it :D
 
This will surely be a beauty when rolling.

If i may ask, are you still planning on lpg injection? It works well in very small amounts for economy, but the cylinder pressure spike during combustion wreaks havoc on the small ends of the rods in bigger volumes.
A decent set of injectors will run about the same for a big lpg kit, and the reliability is awsome. What other diesel work have you done? gassers are great but i love how tweaking an injector pump can net 50+ horsepower. Best of luck withe the build.

Yes I am running the LPG injection and as yet have to finish it when we reassemble the truck after paint. Only needs one LPG injector before the turbo. I have some good connections with Cummins and cummingracing.com so all will be ok ;). LPG will be set only for economy at the early stage so as we burn the Diesel cleaner but that does give us some power advantages. By doing that the motor will run better on the long haul going to shows and events.
 
23rd August 2008. Cab is in Color and was all painted in less than a day. Doors will be next along with the bonnet and guards.
