Anyone know where I can find a sort of walk around for a truck like this?

Here's another, where does the crane operator stand?

I want to build a twin steer picker. Is the purpose of the twin steer just for weight on the crane, or is it something else?

Thanks,
John

Oooooh, a heavy duty KW....cool!
As per the dual steer it's both...weight transfer and steerability.

Haven't come across any sites with walk-arounds, however this may be of some use:
http://www.truckpaper.com/
some of the trucks have multiple views (not quite walk-arounds but better than nothing).
If you are feeling brave I have a link to a Kenworth 953 walk-around .
