As many of these that I have seen over the years, I've never seen one set up as a tractor. Of course I have not seen every unit produced. I love it!
What are you going to hook it up to?

Thanks for the comments even you Craig! I do have a MIM Autocar kit that I'm working on.
This truck is shown in the brochure that you receive with the TWH HEMTT. Fifth wheel tractors do exist.
I haven't found a trailer yet that I like to go with the truck. I would entertain some suggestions if you have any.

That is one beast of a tractor. I guess traction will not be an issue. The tan paint looks nice throughout.

Nice Robert! You got a trailer in the works? The original cargo deck might be cool as a trailer perhaps......just to give use to that part of the model, that was removed.

Thanks again for your comments.
I think that the trailer shown in Save1er's photos would be the one to use. Info can be found on line now that I have the M870A3 designation.
