On the front axle you may have to raise it a little they always seem to squat in the front. I always put a small piece of styrene under the springs to raise it up. Just thought I would let you know -

Yes it would be nice but Heller has the molds and they redone the 359 cab a little when they got them. Not for sure if Heller still has the molds are not. Thanks I custom made the decals for the single axle and also made single headlights for it. I need to get back on some of these and finish them. -

Nice choice I have several of these in progress and about 20+ unbuilt these are my favorite of the TNT series. Here’s my link if you want to look at some I’m working on. -

That’s a beast thanks for sharing -
Ok guys let’s see those mock up’s of your Big Rigs I have lots of them. You know you mock it up then put it back in the box for a rainy day. Maybe it will get the mojo going to finish some of your builds. I’ll get us started. Here’s one I’ve been working on the last couple weeks. It’s a old Ertl Paystar with the AMT Peerless log trailer.

It wasn’t no fuel Squeezer at 4mpg it was definitely a 430. I had trouble with water pumps going out heads were spider cracked just one thing after another with that truck. The paint job looks great on your cab.
