The numbers on the front corners of the cabs were being changed to a larger size font the last day we were up there. I wish the ones on the rear compartment were larger too, but it is what it is at this point. We wanted to do numbers on the front grille, but the 2010 EPA emissions requirements make that impossible now. I believe we could have done numbers painted over the grilles, but that was very expensive for what ever reason.

With that style of lettering for the numbers, it jambs them up. I was looking at the 21's and it appears to look like 81. From a liitle back from the rig it may be hard to tell the numbers. The five in the field, I had to look real close to see which was which. Just my take on it, as I went through the small number thing back after they came in and no one wanted to increase the size, before the largers numbers were added a few years later.
I'll get an up close look next week when they arrive in Chester.
