No cab clearance lights on the model? The 1:1 truck has them, or is that an old photo, and they've since been shaved?

DCP gets them as close as they can so they did not do the lights or the 48in bunk or the single tire pusher so it is close but not perfect.

Nice score on the job Paul, you deserve it! Are you making the 1:1 version or the DCP version?

It's been nearly 20yrs since I grain hauled in the states working for an american harvester, primarily in Ks.. tandem end dump w/2 axle bd pup or tandem drive w/tri trl were both 85 500.. so SD is about the same for axle grouping...
Thanx for checking into that Paul to solve my curiosity. ![]()

if it didn't have the pusher, and the trailer was a tri axle in sd with a spread under 10'2" then we would be 85500 in sd, if its a tandem truck with a tri spread at or over 10'2" i can go 88,000

That's a sharp looking tractor trailer! You see those kind of trucks all over Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana and Colorado with Bull guards on them, kinda normal around here to see that.

This will be this years new show rig backed by some of the major after market parts companies. The boys and I went out and helped Wesley strip it down last Sat and it is off to the sand blaster this week to get the new stretched frame blasted and ready for paint. ![]()
