I know the trailer is going to be 4 1/16" wide, not sure the length yet, it will be a drop deck. So basically from my experiences being around these on the trailers the engine is pretty close to the same width minus an inch or two. I would say the engine would be pretty much to scale with the truck if it were 3 7/8 or 3 15/16 wide, not sure what the circumference of that would be. As for the model, it can be a basic design like the pic you attache and I can detail it with all the fuel lines and wiring.

As for a cradle, I have plenty of reference pics and it will be easy to design, I am good at designing square objects, not round and curved. lol

Here is another pic.

Dear Inky:
Man I have been driving for 45 years all over the US and I have never seen a Supercab streached that long. It is a neat model did you follow a real truck?
Thanks,
MILES

I have seen a couple large cars this long but they were mainly show trucks not work trucks. Reliable, and Southern Pride have some pretty stretched out trucks in there fleets.

No I did not follow any truck, it was all out of my head.
