This is the KFS cab from STS. It is the best all around resin cab conversion that have ever bought. The fit is excellent. It is on the Testors Freightliner chassis. The headache rack is from RNK, the hydraulic tank is from Kootenany, the wheels are Clint Freeman. My vision for this build changed about a dozen times and l’m not 100% happy with the finished product, but it is what it is.

Your vision may have changed a lot along the way, but the finished truck and all its details, sure looks well planned and thought out!  Like the outdoors photography too - really shows off your truck well.

Wow what a looker , you've really upped your game on your model trucks.  This is exceptional work and detail - the antenna really caught my eye as that is a item often overlooked.

Good to see you posting - was worried you might had floated off after that last hurricane.

Great looking build, the KFS cab looks very high quality, accessories and paint scheme graphics look period correct. Cast spoke rear and Budd fronts are becoming contagious around here, have to try it sometime.

Nice job as usual, Brian. I’ve always been a fan of your builds, from concept to execution. They always look the part, great on detail and aftermarket parts, making for an accurate and unique model. This one doesn’t disappoint, either.

Looks great, the decals are perfect!

Thanks Warren! I wish the decals would have turned out perfect, but they were a battle, at least for me, to get them as good as I did.

Thanks Jeff!! The decals could have turned out better, There’s always a couple of things that I mess up at the finish line.😀

Thanks Sean!! Thankfully the hurricane didn’t affect us very much! Glad to see you back on here. Hopefully my next project won’t take 5 months like this one did.😀

 Thanks so much Tommy! Speaking of all the extra junk, I was trying to reflect an owner operator who had pulled and could pull just about anything. It has a headache rack for logs and flatbeds, a wet line for dumps, etc., I even made the fifth wheel to where it could be pinned for a frameless dump.

Thanks Victor!! I have always admired your builds as well! I had higher hopes for this one than the finished product produced. I haven’t had much build time over the past few months and was just glad to see it finished.😀

That just a fantastic looking truck. Always loved these things and that paint scheme, just such a striking set of stripes. Your work is so clean and precise. I wish there were more of these around in kit form and in reality.
