Default First build, Ford Aeromax

I bought an Aeromax a few months back and put it together and took plenty of pictures. However my iPhone decided I didn't need to share my build and continued to self destruct. In the process of acquiring a new phone I lost all of my build pictures.

Here are a few pics in its current state. Hacked off the sleeper and added a few goodies from pmd. I'm undecided as to whether I want to shorten the frame rails a bit or add a drop axle.
No trailer yet but I snagged some axles off flea bay and am planning to build a triple axle rear loading lowboy.

I think the length looks perfect and personaly I wouldn't add another axle just some rear fenders. Tough looking truck.

Don't often see Aeromax builds, this one is great. Maybe a pair of tanks and quarter fenders would help fill some of the gap and make use of the frame length. I personally think the frame length is perfect.
