Need to know a couple of things before I order one for a triaxle project.

First: the lift axle how functional is it?
Second: on a scale of one to extremely, how difficult/easy is the cab disassembled (mainly hood and cab shell, I plan to reprint one.)
Third: what is the length of the rotator body roughly from the back of the cab to the end of the frame (I want to be able to build a 20'6" dump box for it)

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

The lift axle is apparently functional after a few minor modifications- see ChandlerYohn's earlier post http://forums.dhsdiecast.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=135774&p=3
i have never removed one of the T880 cabs, but looking underneath it looks like it is just a couple of screws that need to be removed (correct me if I am wrong).
And the frame is just under 6 inches from the back of the cab to the end of the frame.
Hope this is helpful!

Thanks for the info, my plan should work perfectly.
