As regards this truck, I have to agree with the above statement. Absolutely fantastic....!

Just notice i never posted a finished picture of the sassy kingcab

The only real update are the matching rear tires i got from Rick "thanks"

That is one nice customized truck - Do you do the pictures Yourself? They are quite awesome, You even got the CR-01 looking sharp

Thanks, I do take the pictures, some turn out better then others lol

That is a piece of art, and wasn't the King Cab Tamiya's first stadium truck?

Thanks,

I think it was

You know, I'm not really a truck guy but this is real art! Great restoration of a real classic. My hat's off to you!

all i can say.... Someday it would be mine :lol: (in my dreams)

Looks fantastic, nvxwax! I love the wheels, I've always been partial to that design--that was the first style of mag wheels I bought & installed on my 1970 Charger back in the 80's.

I love that design too. I'd flip left to right though so the spokes go forward, like a saw blade, make the truck look even more aggressive.

I know I've expressed how much I like this truck, but man that thing is sweet. I'll never get tired of looking at it. Vintage r/c of this caliber this doesn't come up very often. This is the real deal right here.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Thanks guys,

I have been tempted to sell this one many times but just cant bring myself to do it. Its an oddball of my collection lol

A truly stunning truck.The King Cab is my all time favorite rc car.I never new those plastic parts came in chrome.

Awesome King Cab!
Amazing how it lokked when you got it and how it is now!
Cheers

Wow! I sure am late to the party! Those are trinity long shocks. Great shocks. You can use all Tamiya o rings and diaphragms to rebuild them. That truck is nuckin futs! You still got it?
