I made the Transtar Day cab and shortened the chassis.Converted to single axle and eliminated most of the chrome. the trailer is out of box with a chassis built for it. The UPS old style decals were made on an ALPS printer. The paint was mixed from Tamiya Acrylics. Paul

I know you modified for a heavier spec according to your post on the other forum. This is a good looking unit
