Sean, Nice looking conversion, I just might have a go at something like that myself (always loved fleet trucks)

These snaps are fantastic, nice detail, and yet not too expensive that you don't want to chop em up and experiment.

(c'mon R/M...give us more...we'll buy em!!)

I say there is to much frame length b/w the back cab and the rear wheels and needs cut down some?

Got the frame shortened down and created a whole host of problems now... :lol:

1. Got to get rid of one of the battery boxes and possibly put the fuel tank in its place :blink:

2. Not sure about the mud flaps still whether i may use them or not... Will however use the frame section of it :P
3. Still got to get the hood Body worked

4. Still got to create the rear window trim

5. May be able to save the mounts for the fuel tanks/air tanks and reuse them after a bit of work
