Want to make a red truck/white trailer version of 3221/7848

Hello fellow builders. I'm coming over here from the Technic side for some advise. I am a truck driver for Knight Transportation in the US. My truck looks just like the Lego 3221 and 7848 trucks since they look like a Volvo. I want to make a truck to look like the real thing.

Since I am mostly into Technic, I have no experience with the Lego Town system when making orders from Bricklink. I have learned to make a wanted list, and start with the rare parts and make orders from there.

My question is what parts that make up the 3221 and/or 7848 trucks will be the hardest to come by to make a red truck and white trailer?

I plan to use a seller on Ebay for custom Knight decals to complete the look. Will post pics when it's done.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Sounds like a nice project. None of the parts are impossible to come by, but this one might be your biggest challenge - it has been released in red only in one set, from 2005, and is only available from a single BrickLink seller in new condition. If you're willing to buy a used part, you have 21 more sellers to choose from. Apart from that, you shouldn't have any big problems building a red truck. The trailer of 7848 is already white, so the only thing you'd need to do is change the colour of the roof, which will also be easy.

Good luck!
