1/64th Tridem drive semi truck drop frame

This 1/64th S Scale frame is a Tridem, aka Tri-Drive, or Triaxle type suited to match the Die Cast Promotions (DCP) Peterbilt trucks, but can be used with other manufacturers as well. This version is the drop frame type, with the rear of the frame rails being set so the truck can back up to the tongue of a lowboy or similart type trailer, the trailer tongue rolling up the frame into place. The suspension is artistically based to represent the Peterbilt Air Leaf design. The fifth wheel will pivot, but may take a small amount of fine tune sanding for the pins to fit and move nicely. The front 'splice' plates in between the frame rails should also slip into the die cast frame, allowing for a glue joint. The axle holes are designed oval shape, so the three axles should level out once the rig is completed. The design has passed all the checks in three different software programs I use, so I’m confident it will print without issues in the Frosted Ultra Detail material, which is what you’d want to order it in to ensure the details are as crisp as possible.
