After finding this picture, I knew I wanted to build this truck:

Here's the KW snap kit cab after the first round of alteration:

The Pete snap kit sleeper gets sliced:

The next step is the KW snap kit sleeper about to be cut:

That's all for now

Thank you Michael, Clayton, Brian and Rob.

I've narrowed the trailer options down to two choices: 1 and 2. The first option would require a much longer frame for this setup. No big deal...I used 24" long frame rails.

The second option is the one I tend to favor...we'll see.

Dennis will you be building these scratch?

Do I see the 1st one right, it has 4 axles, with a step in the frame up front?

Michael,

I will be scratch-building the trailer(s). To give you a better idea of how this setup works, here's a link to the Peerless website with an excellent video :)

Dennis, I don't see a link, but I went there and found the video.  Now I get it!

If you feel up to it, then my call would be #1.  I'd like to see a tractor with 3 axles built, plus the idea of having a stack of logs on top of the axles, then a cool trailer in back....pretty tough one to beat, my opinion.

I really like this.

My apologies for not providing a link...DUH! I'm glad you found the video and yes, it is a sweet setup!
