OK here is the ?????

This truck has helper springs on the rear which I believe were std on the tractor.

The other tractor with recent pix did not have helper springs....

This truck is KevinABR's, the other one I think you;re referring to belongs to Theirry.... His frame is also too long, with holes for bumperettes, which tractors never had.

I agree I believe Kevin's is an original,( as in "from the factory" ) while Theirry's may be a "conversion" ( although it may very well have been done " in Theater" )
