floor.
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09485.jpg
floor in cab perfect.
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09486.jpg
floor on frame stock KH tranny NOt soo muchh..
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09487.jpg
Floor up cab happy, tranny happy, but electronics not happy..
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09490.jpg
move tranny backwards, cab is very happy..electronics very happy..Headache rack? not happy...

http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09494.jpg
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09495.jpg
I need help guys, anyone know a good tranny I could use that will go absolutely
below the rails? I could cut the floor n make the stock tranny work, but then that
means the battery tray will be of no use and everything is gonna be flying around
inside there not cool
if anyone knwos a good tranny alternative please let me know :) thank you in advance :)

You can run a R2 I run them in my trucks that dont have much room in them. or the buyer could switch to lipo and have plenty of room..

I agree with Paul on this. Use an R2. Great tranny and very compact. I have them in 2 of my trucks. 1 is mounted to the floor of the cab. Lots of room for everything then.

http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss253/azncents/DSC09515.jpg
I moved the front wheels up a bit, tilted the mount there now I have to modify that cross member to put a bolt n nut instead of screw to hold the mount in that position giving me a little bit more room, what happened b4 is I couldnt mount the little side step, the wheel was a little bit too bad it would hit the side step when turning very bad, so now moved up works greatt!

my original plan was to build it a the wrecker from terminator 2 :) that black one from the chase :)
from here :)

x2. I was thinking about the 80t for my King but I'm worried it may be too slow.

04-04-2011, 04:11 PM
well dont be worried :), it has plenty of speed and power :) thoo I would say if you realllly want to speed a little bit and still have power go with a 55T that'll work nicely for ya bud :)

Man, this is one of your best cabs yet. I think you nailed the look perfectly, and I'm curious if this is going to become one of Donnie's (Reeves) trucks? It's going to be a great replica. Nice job.
