Really nice build.

Modifications really look appropriate, nice work.

Like where this is going.

Progress, built and installed the correct suspension in the rear, used correct front axle, stretched frame, tag air axle roughly installed. A quick mock-up.

I have two or three different lift axles to choose from, so yes I will take a look how it fits or use a different unit.

Liking this build, cool idea.

Thanks James for all the info. Dug thru my stash and found a kit (purchased from Hobby Lobby on sale)with what looks to be the correct pieces I need to correct the suspension. Looked up all those tips and printed them and put in binder to get organized before I start the build.

Outstanding build

What trucks would have had this engine?

Thanks James, doing some internet research, looks like there where several different suspensions offered. Also did not realize that there was a T600B as well. I will go thru these pages you sent.

Thanks for the input, that helps. I actually have the K100 I can steal from and a Detroit, not sure about the front suspension update. Was there ever a twin turbo Detroit offered from the factory in any truck?

What are some other things that you would change?

Like what’s happening here, very cool.

We will see, this kit has a lot of issues, including the wrong rear suspension for the T600.

My 2023 BRGB will be a Kenworth T600A (after much digging thru my stash and deliberating) on truck for my four axle trailer project. I will be adding the third tag axle from KFS, possible fenders for the rear axles from Keystone, frame stretch to accommodate third axle. Undecided if I will use fairings (have a couple different styles) or redo the front fenders (add lower extensions) and have exposed battery boxes and fuel tanks. Picture for inspiration

Thanks sir, a bit more finish work then build a truck for this trailer.

Wow, nicely done

I like it, can’t wait to see the build.

Just enough detail, looks great.

I really like your build.

Nice detail in such a short time.

Wow, I can’t finish one in two months let alone 24 hours, good luck and post pics.

Fun to watch this come together, looking forward to finished cab.

Really nice build, like the modifications

Thank you, got a ways to go yet. Need to start thinking about a truck for this trailer.
