Badass Volvo 780
 
I'm at a Sapp Brothers Truck stop in Clearfield, PA and I just saw the sweetest custom Volvo 780 I've ever seen! The entire body looked like it was chopped in half and grafted to another half of a 780 making it extra long. It looked a lot like this model, except the bunk windows weren't staggered.

The 780 I just saw was gray with beautiful blue graphics with a matching trailer.
I really wish I could've gotten pictures of it, but it's dark of course and he was pulling out of the lot. I've been wanting to do this to my truck. I wonder how much it would cost to get this done?

A couple hundred bucks, I'm guessing

That's pretty nice.
It's amazing how much some toy trucks, and toy farm equipment are worth. They have toy shows, just like the real farm shows, and truck shows.
It's really something how tractors, and implements have the rubber tires, and hydraulic lines, and stuff. Some custom made tractors, trucks etc can cost as much as the real thing. Amazing.

There are all kinds of websites out there, but here are a couple that I know of right off hand.

Toy Farmer: Official Site of Toy Farmer Magazine
Extreme Toys
CloverdaleToyTrucks Store

I believe the OP was just using that scaled down model truck for illustrative purposes:lol2:
He was inquiring how much it would run for the real thing, not how much would a model cost.

Yes, you're correct. The truck that I was talking about from last night was a real truck.
