Everyone does that so a customer can just buy one of those if they want.

Mostly I wanted to use the stock filler on the cab but also to get more room in the cab. I didn't want all that dead weight hanging out behind the truck and from a collision stand point is safer. You also get better balance, and a more centralized CG for the racing guys and with the PT-57 getting one of these soon after I finish this one, anything that I can do for both works for me.
