So I just finished up this custom t880 with a norscot dump box. I have never really cared for first gears dump box and I think this looks much better. I also used a 4 axle tractor so it has a pusher axle which gives it a much beefier look. If your interested in this rig or need something built shot me a pm. Thanks for looking!

That looks great! I always hated how FG made the T880 dump a tandem axle and not a Tri axle truck. I rarely see a T880 dump with out a pusher axle. I love my FG T880 Tractor but it definitely has room for improvement.

But for an affordable replica it's a great truck for customizing. I can't bring myself to chopping or modifying my higher dollar pieces.

Looks very good. I r been trying my hand at customizing a few t880's myself. I tota agree with not wantin to cut higher priced models.

Be sure and post some pics of what you came up with. My next T880 is getting a 20mm stretch and being turned into a roll off truck. Be sure and stay tuned. Here the patient.

Hey guys another update. Just finished up this sand bucket and figured I'd show you guys how it turned out. It was built for a Deere 470g LC. I'm going to be building a thumb kit for the 470 tonight. I'll share some pics when I'm done. I also built a slab grab but forgot to take finished pics of it.

Just received my custom Kenworth T880, the detail is amazing and it was packaged very safely. Thank you again for the great work.
