Looks nice but impractical.
Are these working trucks or just show trucks?
Isn't there a maximum vehicle length and weight per axle depending on the distance between axles?
Wonder how many carrier bearings on the drive shaft?

A long wheelbase is good if you haul long steel beams and or long steel rebar. They also use a long wheelbase to help them out on the bridge law for total wheelbase of the truck and trailer along with axel spacing that is if they had two or three tag axels on it.
To me even these trucks have to long of a wheelbase to be useful to drive all of the time unless your hauling steel. You can bet they do not drive them in NY City or LA, as the streets are not big enough and or to narrow for them to turn a corner with such a long wheelbase and a 53-foot trailer.
Just my $0.02 worth

The orange one sounds sweet, I just saw it at the Carlise All Truck Nationals. That truck is running a Cat diesel with I think 600 HP. The interior was also amazing, with one mighty big stero system>

I just saw this one late last year at a local truck shop. He blew the motor and was having it replaced. It's modified alot more than the pictures show. It did have spinners when I saw it. He had just won the Las Vegas truck before the motor "calfed"....
