Not really, there is BrundleFly’s instructions which have some measurements, it’s pretty handy. But no blue print that I know of. One thing that I’ve noticed reading through a couple build threads is that your measurement are slightly different if you vac-form your parts VS cut them out of flat styrene.
is his instructions here on the site or off site? you got me itching to read this stuff!

halliwax It's in a thread somewhere, I can't find the original link but I have both versions and threw it up on my server. I hope he doesn't mind.

I’m planning to make a two part mold. I have been worried about how to do it and where to make the pour hole and vent hole. That part and the cupola have me worried. I need to just sit down and make the dump molds of the other parts so I can get some experience with this under my belt.
I've been searching youtube for casted items similar to this wheel. i was even wondering if plugging the hole in the wheel with clay and casting it that way would work. i would have to dremel out the hole that was filled on each wheel. but i think thats my easiest solution.
then again how many wheels come in 1 model?
You guys know that you can still find this kit or something that has similar wheels on ebay right?

There should be plenty of wheels if you get a whole kit, depending on the kit, but I don't think they will all be chromed though. I know that there are several kits that have the same wheels in them, but I think that there are only two that have the correct axle brackets, the T600A and the Midnight Express. I think that there are some trailer kits that also have the right stuff but I don't know what they are called. I've also heard that there are two different styles of lugs in the wheel, but I don't think we know which was used on the actual prop.
That type of wheel is common on a lot of peterbilts... if you're already considering castings etc... you might as well go one better with a 99% similar wheel that is already chromed. Just sayin' I forget the exact kit I grabbed my from but NOBODY ever looked at it and noticed anything was not 100%. Mine had 8 wheels 4 with lugs and 4 without. Somebody told me that the original was that way as well... but I'm not going to claim its 100% true - I've not done the research to determine it.
