    Setup was built to my spec by Sun Country, its not something off the shelf so to speak. I doubt it would be feasible for a lot of people, its built for a niche market, Thx Stan

    Hey BZ, No I didn't, I Do like the sales guy at Salina, but I just never felt their service was up to it, plus these trucks will be running more central midwest rather than west, so I ordered them from Midway in Palmyra, Mo. Their sales guy is good, and VERY patient, as I know I am a pita to deal with because I want it the way I want it and I dont care what the factory says, lol He went over and above, and to be honest, Western Star was more accommodating than either Freightliner or Peterbilt when it comes to getting it just right. But the big reason was their service dept treats me like I'm the only customer they have, really good guys, REALLY good techs!

    Nice!!
    Its kind of hard to tell from the picture but
    Is the rear axel of the cab and chassis completely on the truck bed ?
    Also how much clearance to the sleeper did it leave you for the cab/chassis ?
     
    KANSAS TRANSIT Thanks this.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been on here. I remember having conversations about the stinger setup that the old BMT truck used. I’d be interested to see the set up on yours up close. It looks pretty tight between the tractor and trailer. That is most definitely a nice ride and a cool setup!
     
    Badmon and KANSAS TRANSIT Thank this.
