Wow, Paul, I don't know what to say except thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it! I agree with you about the weight making a big difference in the handling and realism of the truck. I'm not really sure what it weighs yet, but it is pretty solid. I haven't had the truck totally together to the point where I could weigh it. I'm going to guess it will be around ten pounds when finished. Which I hope is soon.
