Notice that it has Narrow Fenders. The Axel is also more Narrow and probably a very different type in comparison.

Oh I realize the weight carrying differance between the series, just like a c-40 of earlier days will be lighter than a c-60 but the overall "look" is the same ( roughly) body wise,
i was thinking on cutting it down into a welders truck or a utility bed, kinda my go rescue my wife from the snow bank have the chains a winch etc etc , more of an ULTRA duty pickup, I just want it to look as nice as the 9500, love that squeezed down grill ( much like the early topkicks.. 93 or there abouts I think )
I dont have a need for a CDL truck nor do i plan to insure and inspect and upkeep one with a CDL GVW.... so it will be lighter than the 9500 but i really like that body style....the one I pictured looks just enough "off" that I am unsure if they are the "same" body style wise....
