The chassis came from a 73 Dodge motorhome, I shortened
it 22", front and rear axles from same.
Rear axle has twin air bags on each side(double convoluted
2500 lbs. each) front axle has sleeve type air ride (2650 lbs. each)
Both cabs tilt at the same time via 12v. hydraulic pump
to gain access to engine,
has a safety strut to hold up cabs to avoid becoming
a pancake if a line should fail.
The grill shell tilts out via modified Cougar/Mustang hood
hinges, the radiator tilts as well for possible service needs to the electric
fans.
I hand crafted all the rear portion of the truck
from sheet metal
