What are those people thinking? I think we should start a major revolt until we get one.
I agree, they blew it! They blew it with the Kenworth conventional also. They only released the wide nose 925. Where is the 50's version of the Kenworth conventional ?, which was very similar to the narrow nose 50's Pete. Here is a 3 axle version ( model 351 ) I also built. You can never settle with just one version of these great trucks!
