The cab is mounted on a Promotex Ford Aeromax chassis with Dennis Aust fuel tanks and wheels, a Promotex toolbox, JCT auxiliary power unit, Kibri half fenders, and an interior from Boley along with the windshield.

The trailers are both Lonestar Models Trailmobile 40' flatbeds cut down to a 32’ lead unit and 28’ trailing pup utilizing part of the 40’ frame to modify it into the B housing the fifth wheel. Making 2 trailer out of 3, Jim had extra suspension parts, etc. to complete both units. The ratchet tie downs come from the Lonestar lumber truck. A-Line two hole steel wheels replaced the trailer kit spoke wheels. The lumber load is from Jaeger Products using the Weyerhaeuser wrap.
