Awesome, I really like the whole truck and trailer. Your model is probably the same size as the 1/1's where I am

Mike - from one driver to another - AWESOME MAN!!!!!! two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon Definitely inspires me to build one of these trucks and trailers. And even though I retired as a sand hauler, (pneumatic bulk), I pulled a skateboard for many, many years. I folded up those dam lumber tarps, in December, that folded like a potato chip. Has to spray them dow with antifreeze to get them to roll up, totally dirty job, extremely hard work, LOVED every minute of it!! high-five-smiley-emoticon I am anxious to see you build another bud - BEAUTIFUL WORK MAN!!!!!!!!!! A real tribute to ALL the drivers everywhere!!

That's a good idea, or maybe some cardboard paper to make some sheets of dry wall. Or maybe something to look like big coils - I hauled them a lot. Straps, I bet something like that seat belt ribbon would work, don't forget the bungee cords!! If you could find some itsy bitsy dump trucks, you could always be empty, going for your next load, and strap down a Tonka truck! That's what I used to do believe it or not. In fact, the scales south of Portage, IN once pulled me in and asked where my bill of lading was for the Tonka truck i had on. I was in shock, I was like, it's just for show.They told me I had to come up with a bill of lading for it, since it was a commercial vehicle, so I grabbed a blank one, (always carried some for spares), and made it out to deliver to my wife. Then they let me go, that still floors me to this day they did that to me, Lol
