Dang.....to bad they don't just introduce Ultra Magnus and get rid of all these modern looking semi trucks! Curious about that old Marmon COE though. Looks like it would make a better Otpimus Prime then anything else I've seen so far.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

I havent got mine yet, but i think they're going to a problem to mount with his mounting method.
The chassis rails i used (from Joe) arent quite the same height as the stock ones, they're a fraction taller. I had to grind my fuel tank mounts to fit them. If the mount for the boxes is the same, they may not fit.
And, with the C clamp style he's used, they will be in the way for mounting the headache rack. They'll raise it by several mm, which will put it past the top of the roof of the sleeper.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

From some of the pics of the small tool boxes, you can take the mounting bracket off and use its 2 mounting holes to mount it directly to the frame. Even add a spacer if you wanted.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

Ahh I didnt notice that it looks removable. Problem solved.

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

yes like lynn said the c bracket is removable .i am removing mine and its easy to turn the c bracket around and use the holes as a guide to drill .i am mounting mine to the frame directly and eliminating the bracket altogether...i will be doing that some time today or tomorrow so i will post pics of it :)i am going to put a little slot on the holes as looking at the box the bracket is a little crooked and i want them to sit evenly

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9e346025.jpggot the storage box installed ,just have to put a spacer between the frame and the box like lynn suggested .it will make room to attach the headache rack and oh by the way i lowered the headache rack as it sat abit too high so now it is almost level with the bunk like it should be...its getting there:)

Re: optimus prime transformers
 

Well, enough about the Western Star. Back on subject...

Dwayne, you've done a great job on the truck. I like how the boxes and the headache-rack seamlessly blend together. It's really a work of art.
