Thats the one. Before he put the graphics on it. I think I like the plain version better. I once waited an extra hour after a truckshow just to watch that beastie turn a corner. I wanted to see if it could. Turns out it can. It will take up every square inch of the intersection doing it but it is possible. Maybe this year I'll get around to asking why 4 stacks. At least there are no dummy stacks. Both sets are functional. I point that out because some show trucks have stacks only for the look, the real exhaust is between the tanks, guess its easier to get the bugs off if they haven't been baked on

my bet is - based on all the electronics and ADVERTISING screens (on the slides) that the REAR stacks are for the generator.
Heres a write up in 10-4 magazine that i found about BIG RED The Red Giant in this picture - its tough to confirm - but it LOOKS like the mid axle is a STEER axle too, which would help it turn.

The generator hadn't been run at this show. The truck had been plugged in but the engine was running as they did final is everything put away checks. Then when the driver started going through the gears, slight haze out of all 4 stacks. The pusher axle does steer. Just like an Ohio dump truck. Castor steer by the way, not forced like a twin steer. It wouldn't work very well if it were a fixed axle. Mounted what, like 15' behind the steer if it didn't steer tire life would be very short. I don't even want to think about what it would do to the wheel bearings and mounts-for that matter the frame itself.

The Argosy Conversion is offered at $499,000
The customer says he originally paid $1.4 but has never used it or titled it. Bob
