Pretty cool. I have a Sterling quad axle and one of the next projects will be building a quad axle pup for it. So many projects, so little time!

Thanks again Andre, there is a clip and a screw. The screw is above the plastic transmission piece. The only way to take a First Gear Truck apart is to disassemble the truck completely, which usually means broken parts.....I don't suggest anyone trying to take one apart.....because its not easy. However, their paint finish is impeccable (at least on the trucks I have) so its all okay. Here is a pic of One of Two quints I am working on as well. So far I have done three trucks.  Thanks to everyone else for their comments as well, they are much appreciated.
