Thanks much Nick.. The handles I had a guy mill and he said it was no fun to try to get them to hold down so he is not to interested in making more..

Looking good as usual TC! I like how you touched on ever little detail, the owner will really appreciate your craftsmanship! Hey, if you're ever thinking, "What do I do with this truck I just built? There's no room on my shelf for it..." just send it on over! :D Nice work, keep it up!

Thanks for the idea.. I am going to make the stock A model steps as in the pick of the real truck going to make them out of a block of PVC I have then send them off to get copied on a mill in Alum..

Just in case anyone noticed the tank looks like it is not sitting level its because the sleeper is not mounted..
