This is my latest build. The hood is from P&P resins the cab is a 378 cab that I converted to a single air cleaner. The rear suspension is Chalmers from MoLuminum and is awesome. The lift axle as well as the trailer are all scratch built. The trailer is patterned after a Lincoln 3 axle built in Washington. The total build time was about a month which is slow for me but it was worth it Mark Attachments:

In case there is any one that isn't sure what the Chalmers suspension looks like this is it in progress. I still have to add shocks in this pic mark Attachments:

That's quite nice. That took you a month? Would have taken me two years!
Thanks for the heads up on the Chalmers suspension. I've been looking for one for a W900S dump. Did you get it from SourKraut, or did you get it directly from Jamie?

Very nice model. Are you sure it took just a month to built it up? Not a year? Ahhhh, just kidding. Your skills are great.

Thank you for the kind words. Ya it only took a month it wouldn't have taken that long but I was puttin in some long days in a real Peterbilt. When I get build time I make it count. The Chalmers suspension came directly from Jamie. Mark
