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:

Here we have the sleeper sections connected and mounted to rear of cab:

That's all for now

Dennis,

 I am pleased to see you are back at the bench! That looks like it will be an interesting build. Which you know I will follow.

Thanks for looking everyone!

Terry: I’ll be using a resin hood from Plaskit

Travis: Definitely a lot of lights…I’ve got an idea for them;)

Can't wait see this come together. I may have to change direction with my 367. I really like how this company specs out their trucks. This will an awesome lookin build when you get it done.

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.

Thanks for the feedback everyone...I appreciate it! Clayton, you are right about option #2 being easier to build and that's why I tend to favor it over #1.

But I must say, #1 would make a great build. Decisions, decisions:unsure:

#1 has a turntable, non detachable connecting gear. That's why the frame steps like a container/Connex trailer. The front 2 axles turn.

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!
