    Well the frame is two large c channels one on each side going from cab back. Except for the boxed section where I believe they stretched it from a semi tractor to grain truck. I will check the ID tag I remember it had the og wheel base stamped on it to verify weather it was converted. Bill I...

    No, it has a straight 5speed transmission, no split rear. Not sure about the grain box? I belive it was a semi tractor which was converted and stretched. You can see where the frame was fixed and then stretched. Also it has a single 3 stage cylinder which I like.

    What I love about this is it has a step on the lower fender to access the engine compartment. Just haven't seen that before. I will stop posting on this welcome page so as not to clutter it up. Any suggestions as to where to post questions and pics would be appreciated!
