Hi guys!!   I am working on the drawings for a 8550 model.  The last 4WD for my collection, and I need a couple measurements  to be sure I am in scale.  Wondering if someone here owns one or would be near a 8550 in the next couple days could take a couple measurements for me.  I need the width of the front frame where the headlights are, and also the height of the cab from the platform to top.   If you would want to text, my number is 319-329-9029.  tks!  Armand

The front frame rail piece, is 8 3/4" wide X 36".  The headlight hole is 3" from the edge and 1 1/2" around the top and bottom edge.   The top of the cab from the platform is 69 1/2".  The ridge in the roof top is 3/4".  If you need anymore measurements just let me know.  I'll be glad to help.   217-37o-23o4  Andy
