Is there an explanation for this.....

When I look at the front fenders of a HUP compared to a regular.....(was going to say a real CMP)..... the front fenders on a HUP is about 3 inches narrower than the CMP fenders.

Now on the pictures posted of this elusive C8xa the front fenders are AS wide as a regular CMP..... they stick our about 3 inches wider.

Now the HUP body was fitted to a special unique frame with a curve/rise over the rear axle. the CMP is sturdier and flat with no curve.

The fender well in the cab/nose section of the HUP is also different to accomodate the slightly narrower stance of the front fender.

Now back to the pictures of the C8xa ......... the cab looks more like a cab 13 model....... yet the frame is the same as the HUP frame. Is the wheel width on the C8xa wider like a cab 13 so they could use a regular cab 13 ...?

If it was a cab 13 how was it attached to the smaller HUP frame..?

So much to learn... so little time....
