The detail is phenomenal. I see the steering axle is moveable. That is some attention to detail. As I was a diesel mechanic at one time I noticed your front driveline is out of time you may have a vibration at highway speed. That is an outstanding job more pictures please.

A drop deck would look good behind that

I think a Drop deck would be a great trailer.

Unbelievable detail: the driveshaft/ u joints blew me away!

A belly dump grain trailer would look cool behind this.

Nice work with this one. Any pics of the motor?
I vote a sled or a double wide. A reefer would fit that city truck too;)

Absolutely stunning job, Grant!

My suggestion for a trailer would be a nice flatbed trailer that would carry two vintage cars (that you could also work on…. time not being in short supply already… LOL).... cars could be like a '1929 Desoto Model K Sedan' or a '1914 Cadillac 30 Touring'.... (those being a little more boxier shaped which would eliminate some of the hand carving time).

With those added to a flatbed trailer pulled by your Semi truck beauty, the entire package would no doubt be a showstopper and priceless!

Also a flatbed trailer would give the truck the bonus flexibility of being a display base for any additional small creations you make that a truck could move around. You could even use it as a monthly display of your latest creations if you find yourself doing as much.
