Those two Freightliners in post 948 were put together in our shop. The one in front used to be my heavy haul tractor years ago and the one in back was the first tri axle I ever drove (sort of).
When we built the one in the back last winter, it was stripped down to bare frame rails. WE left the pusher hanging on it. The old Cummins got replaced with a 60 series Detroit. WE replaced every piece of the suspension and axles, changed the cab and rebuilt the bed.
