Thanks Vernon I was hoping it was correct as is. 

I cut the frame and added 35 scale inches it was the same 35" I cut out of the Bighorn.

Gator I'm going to use aluminum Alclad.

Vernon thanks for the picture it has the details I'm looking for. 

           The aluminum ought to look really good ! I never did like that chrome dump body !

This is looking very good Dan and the wheels are really fine.  I think Brockway trucks are interesting, I don't know much about them though.  I like this one.

Thanks for the continued comments. I worked on the dump body and working on where to locate the exhaust pipes, batteries, air tanks and the hydrilic tank. I'm going to run the exhaust pipes on top of the frame it allows the dump body to be closer to the cab. Here's a picture of where I'm at.

Spent a little more time this morning cleaning up some joints on the dump body and also installed the battery boxes and air tanks. Here's what I'm planning for the stacks.

When I was trying to touch up the black primer I was at the end of the rattle can and it started spitting and messed up my smooth finish. That's what I get for trying to get every last drop of paint out of the can. So now I'm stripping it down and getting a new can of paint this is a one step forward and two back.
