One reason I did this truck is the wheelbase. It is only 4' 9 1/2". Typical of 1880's era trucks. It is also different in that it has a "boxed" spring between the truck timbers. The spring(s) are contained in a (hard rubber?) box and so are not visible as in a "normal" sprung truck. Just thought I'd mention.....
