Here are a couple of trucks that were mildly customized. I bought white trucks and then painted the rear fenders to add color. Installed a custom Tulsa winch which I built.

Robert: How did you paint the breathers on the T800? Wonderful trucks as usual. I still don't like you. CAW

Never mind. What I was seeing is the reflection of blue on those cleaners. My bad. It would have been a great idea though. CAW

Thank you for your comments.
Craig, you had me going for a minute. The air cleaners do look blue in some of the photos.

Very nicely done...
What do you guys think of a special area at the Open House/Model Show to show off custom builds using Sword Models as the basis?
Is anyone coming that would be interested in this idea?

Robert great looking collection.
I noticed looking through previous posts that Quinella was even old back in March, with that comment about blue breathers come on man your wife bought you thick eye glasse’s for a reason try wearing them.
Love the picture of the rig with the nice background I hope the driver didn’t have any holiday juice before he started on his journey, that looks like it could be a long trip down.

Steve Look Pegleg, I had just seen pictures of real trucks at a show and some KWs had painted breathers. They looked great. It would be a nice touch. Now go play with your Christmas village. Where is Santa anyway?

It’s not a pegleg yet but you never know. Is it really necessary to poke fun at my wife’s collection, do I make fun of you after your done crawling around with your rigs and you retire to den and gather all your Ken dolls and put Barbie’s clothes on him and then put disco music on your hi fi and dance around, no I don’t. Santa doesn’t show up till next Sunday evening RuPaul.
I’m going to go into the basement now and paint some of the chrome breathers on my trucks blue.
