Thanks!
I checked it out and it looks like the cabs/clips are the same. I wasn't necessarily worried about the width as much as the tire size, that is, like using a large farm truck like a 49 2 ton truck with 20" tires and trying to marry that to a C30 with 16" tires. I've seen some COE trucks that are slammed onto chassis with 15" tires and to me that looks weird as all get out. The dims for the 59 are pretty clear, but I'm just going to have to go out and measure my C30 as those dims are about as clear as mud in the archives for the 83. It shows dims but the one dim is either showing the center between the duels or maybe the center of the front tread. Not sure.

Thanks!
Richard
