MR TOM SCHRY
One other question, could you take the Ford Louisville Short Hauler kit, omit the box body, and mount the fuel truck tank from the Monogram 1926 Mack Bulldog Tank Truck?
FWIW, I had a friend in college who built an asphalt truck with that same combination (commemorating one of his summer jobs). A straight tanker should be about the same configuration.
I don't recall any specifics...but it looked awesome.
