Thumbs up Re: My Winter Project part 1
I love the truck and trailer. The build is fantastic. Thank you for the information about the bodies available

In a previous post you stated:

the reefer trailer is scratch biult and running on tamiya gear, it is a true to scale 53ft reefer which measures 43.5 inches.
The true 1/14 53' conversion is 45 7/16 inches long. The 43 1/2 would be a scale 50' 9", which is 2' 3" short of the 53' length

No one would notice the difference without a calculator and a measuing tape. It looks great and the colors are excellent. You, sir, are a craftsman

Be happy, have fun, & drive safely
