Thanks, the rear half of the chassis was a DCP International Transtar and the front half is left over from a DCP Kenworth W900l. It was just what I had on hand, initially I was planning on just stretching the transtar chassis but was missing all the steering components.

All but the chassis and wheels came from Rockin' H Farm toys, the cab, grill, interrior, box, hoist, and hoist mount are all 3D printed, the frame and wheels are DCP

First off, let me say I like your truck, fine job, but in the interest of accuracy, there was no such thing as a C65 in '72, they didn't begin until '73. Your truck could either be a C60, (regular 2ton) with pusher axle added, or C70 (2 1/2 ton), more likely to be factory equipped as a tandem.
