Those are great looking vans, I like the scale look, especially of the yellow day cab with buds. Buds on the trailer would be pretty cool to mimic the everyday rig going down the road. Sweet setup!

Hi Dwayne,

can you please tell me the distance between the axles? I'd like to build a spread axle flatbed and I don't know the difference in between.

Thanx...

hey gismow, I don't know what Dwayne used for getting the distance but what I did was set another set of wheels in between them like it was a 3 tandem axle (with normal spacing/gap). when I remove the middle tires... well wahla there ya go... here my redone spread axle set up. hope it helps ya.
ALSO ILL GO OUT AND TAKE A MEASUREMENT PIC OF IT FOR YOU SO YOU CAN SEE IT.
Its stormin like **** here north of tampa fl right now so give me a minute to get out to my shop. lol

Hi Dwayne,

many thanx, but please stay inside when it's stormy.

I can start with the planning earliest next week, so there is time enough to wait for sunny periods...
