Thanks Brian! The tires were an Ebay find. They were listed as Clint Freeman tires. They do look similar to his tires, but all of his that I ever had or saw were soft rubber resin. These are hard cast resin.

This cab came from Illini Replica Conversions in Frankfort Illinois. This cab is resin, but there were several cabovers offered in plastic kit form.

I just stumbled across this one, what an interesting and great build! I’m getting really tired of this forum, too many great project ideas! Great job on the whole project especially the rear suspension Brian! Rick.
