Hey Heinrich,
I'm impressed that you have a Mexican Food place & Tequileria in South Africa! The
truck came out super nice.... Why do you lift the rear most wheels... just use them
when towing? I'm curious to know what sort of 5th wheel you are towing with your beautiful truck.

Looking good over there in South Africa!

Hi Ben

The lifting of wheels has just been on the wishlist since 1980's and thus a challenge.

The 5th wheel.... Plan was to build a trailer for the GT40.... But sold that some 3 months ago... So back to the drawing borad. Would like to do a RV but coach building not on the horizon

Regards
Heinrich

I am not usually one to complement on a modification or deviation that far from stock. But, that thing is beautiful. Very well designed and presented
