Josh and John,

I really appreciate you 2 dueling it out over this issue on my account.  I'm
learning well more than I thought there was to know.  Do either of you have
a site where I can see pictures of the 2 options?

Thanks again,  Justin

Nope.  A wheel is 3 studs wide; if you check the measurements on a typical US
truck, you will find that the space between the wheels is less than a wheel width
wide.  And there are 2 springs visible from the side, which can be simulated with a
stack of 1x1 rounds...

100 ton trucks are the same width between as the wheels are.  and there are
3 visible.  the ones with 2 springs visible are 70 ton trucks.
;-) can't fool me,
