I went back and read my email. I put in wrong numbers. The rear wheels on the Mack B-61 are 6 scale inches to wide. So take 3/64 off of each wheel. There is excess that can be taken off on the inside of the wheel. I found this out when I put an 8" wide dump body on the truck. I found the wheels stuck out beyond the body. Thats when I measured the width of the wheels. The width of any on highway truck should not be over 8'. Most are around 86" to 92". Off Highway trucks will often be wider. I found a crane truck at the Orange Empire Museum in Perris CA. It has tandem front steering and is 10' wide. Its a beast.

Roy, You're confusing the rivet counters. If your tires are 6 inches too wide and we cut off 8 inches(1/8 inch) what are these guys gonna do with the lost 2 inches? You're frying their brains. Please be more kind to the rivet boys or they'll bring up some coupler issue. John Griffin **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!
