What's goin' on...

Basically what you're saying is you want to build straight truck w/ the steerable lift axles. Several years ago I started a similar project only a dump truck. I started out w/ the LouEville short hauler. I used four steering axles from AMT truck kits and the bed from the Fruehauf dump trailer.

Figure out what truck you want to use for the base platform. Stretch the frame as needed add a couple steering axles for the lift axles scratchbuld the hangers,attatchments,and air bags. Use a trailer kit for the box cut down as needed or scratchbuild one.

Here's a picture of that truck I started. It's been three or four years since I've had the inspiration to finish it or for that matter put it back on the workbench! All you'd have to do is build a truck like this only put a box on it.

Good Luck!!!
