(...) Yes, I was referring to the total width of the truck, not just the windshield. If what is to determine if a truck is 6 studs wide is its windshield, then yes those tractor trailer trucks are only four wide. Ben (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

You could argue that the yellow and red/black specialty truck sets (same design, just different color schemes) are 6 wide even if their only have 4 wide windshields. They have wider wheels and footboards, etc. Also, their prototype (if it's a KW or (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Going by the pictures on Pause, these sets only have 4-wide windscreens, not six: 6329 Truck Stop Cafe, 6432 Speedway Transport, 6434 Roadside Repair, 6464 Super Resuce Complex, 2148 is hard to tell but looks more like a 4-wide, 3442 is a 4-wide. (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

I know that the first generation space shuttle (2nd?) Launch Command, #6336, had the 6 wide vehicle, and I thought it was neat, so I got two. I can't think of any others. I liked the fuel truck as well, I am getting one on my next SAHS order. Scott (...) (26 years ago, 7-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)
