you are correct sir

but you only get partial credit, there's 3 other stock tamiya parts in each valve assembly..

ok, found a way to get another cab, buy a whole truck.. lol, i think i need to take a bit more off. i measured the tamiya wheel and scaled the real pic to match, then measured from the cab door to the end, and cut. but these 2 comparison pics don't seem to match real well

cut about 3/4 inch off the cab, looks better now. i read that the builders added 51 inches to the original, so 1/14 of that is about 3.5 inches, and that's about where i'm at. i may have messed up using the blue tamiya cab, i thought it was pretty much just blue plastic, but it has a clear coat on it, so i sanded off as much as i could. especially where the glue will sit. i'll give it a gentle wash in brake fluid before bodywork.
