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! ZachMy Facebook PageMy YoutubeONTARIO, CANADA
