I've always been partial to the ERTL Unit as it has a reach which is a least in scale to the rest of the trailer instead of the pecker pole they put in the AMT Unit.

I hope you do dig it out of the bone yard some day because it was a good looking truck.

UPDATE! cleaning around the shop today and looked out the back door at the freightliner sitting piled up under a couple old lumber truck tarps. So I thought to myself hmm i should do something with that. Anyway the wife comes along and says the same thing so it was time to go grab a shovel sitting in the yard and get her in the shop. After some examination the damage wasnt as bad as feared, the frame is still straight so here we go. Got the front springs and axle back in so far and pics will come as it progresses.

Those rear drive tires are PIRATE copies of Clint Freeman's 11x22 cleated drive tire. Originally CFC cast them in hard resin, then transitioned to soft urethane. CFC offered these in 10:00x20 & 11:00x22.
