you didn't want to make the frame a little longer?? just to clear the fuel tanks that way they are not under the cab..

Back in the '70's, when this truck would have been on the road, the laws regarding overall length were pretty Draconic... They would have had to keep a short tractor wheelbase to be legal in the Eastern States, even with a 40' trailer... Only trucks registered and running in the Western States could get away with stretched frames, cabovers and hoods alike.

Looking good, Jacobus! keep the hits coming!
