It is true for the most recent molds of this part, it feels kinda loose in a pinhole sometimes even. But for the first-old molds, it was sitting so tight, so it could be called "super-friction"-ridged pin with a pinhole.

So true. It's a pity they changed that mold. Looks like even the material looks different... the old ones more shiny, the new ones more dull.
I keep old and new molds separated and try to save the old ones, bc sometimes I just need the "super-friction" pins.

However, this MOC is just awesome. 
I'm always excited, when someone creates another 15-studs-wide truck.
And as ppl alredy mentioned, the large curved panel in the front looks perfect and might become a standard solution for future Euro trucks.

Great alternative! Really like it!

I don't comment on MOCs often as I tend to critique them like it's an official set by a paid designer but this really is fantastic

Very nice!

As a big fan of the #8292, your MOC might just make me buy a #42144 as soon as I can find one at a reasonable price!

Very nice, definately the B model Lego could not be bothered to make!

Good job

The large curved panel at the front actually looks like it was built specifically for the cab on this model. Incredible work.

Best piece placement I have seen for that element as well, thanks for pointing that out. 

Good eye.

I always admire people, who decide to go with such limitations and create B, C etc models. I very like this one.

I see some solid polish background here

It is totally brutal out here, most become gray for blue. I am peach for brown. I am excelling in my running now, so I've made a bigger investment in pushups. Maybe someday I will rival the legendary bronze Polish Wolf. I see you're close to Knighthood on Eurobricks, I like that.
