Brandon 721: Thanks for the "up close" photo of the tag axle. Keep us posted on the project.

53 Moneypit: Thanks for your photo of your "Heavy Chevy". Where did you find that???

Grigg: Thanks for the access to your pics as well!! Mike B. is correct on the power divider ratios. 1st(2.22:1) 2nd(1.22:1)and 3rd(1:1 direct). The rear axles have a ratio of 7.20:1.

I have not been able to attend any of the national shows for the last several years due to work. My Dad and my uncle usually take the truck(s) to the shows. I plan to be at the Huntsville show in May. My Dad has a bunch of pics of Mikes 10500 fire truck. It was one of the first "other" 10000 series truck he was able to see in person. Maybe I can give Mike B. and Grigg a cruise around Huntsville if they are able to attend attend the show!
