Sonoran- thanks, I think the QLO will be also perfect width wise, now to save some more money and get one.

Cat- I have a few 1/18th trucks, but they just don't look anywhere near as scale to the semi as this one does, and I want to get a flatbed to drag it around on, then park the semi, and drive the truck around a bit.

Grumpy- I've seen that one, and one that's in much worse condition for $20, I only paid $3 for this one, but if it's collectible, I don't want to cut it up, since then there will be one less. But they don't seem to be that rare, but I did find a magazine page with it on there from November 1977. Lol

Freddy- I'm probably going to be turning it into an RC car, it has enough room behind the seat for a small battery, and under the hood, I could fit the rest of the electronics, since I'll probably steal the Novak SPY from my Micro RS4, and get a 2.4GHz radio since the receivers are so small. I might even be able to use the existing chassis with a few modifications!

Make it RC!

I convert metal Tonka Dump trucks to rc and I use Venom Mini giant axles and trans. The hard part is finding tires that size. lego has some nice tires and wheels that might fit nice:

you could bye another one and keep this one to have two on trailer and one RC lol
or just make a chassis that this body will just sit on that way if it is a old one you just put the axles back under it and its good lol
or make a nice truck like smallhauler did
