the front of the cab floor and the hood line |
Re: Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.
I met with Espeefan this weekend, He brought me my front springs that he did some work to and He also brought along a Wedico Peterbilt cab to see how it looked on my chassis. It actually looked pretty good, the Shapeways hood fit the cab very well except for the body line on the cab skirt. A Wedico cab is what I had planned on using all along but the $500 price tag and not being a perfect match had me looking for another option. Enter Russ. Russ and I came to a deal tonight on this here cab and hood;

Re: Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.
I have been doing a lot of mock up work tonight, things didn't just fit together. Even though I had moved the front axle froward a bunch I still had to move it more by putting together some different front spring shackles. The sleeper is on backwards for now because I have to sand down the shroud around the walk through, it is too tight against the cab. I also need to play around with the front spring ride height. I have a bunch of extra spacers in it for now, I want to lower it some. This truck will not be a lowrider by any means but want it lower than it sits right now.
Don't worry the ugly stock bumper is not staying, just test fitting. The cab has the skirts along the bottom so my stacks won't work without notching them. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psk5nczb2o.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psrk1r0dsr.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psuqehqnoc.jpg |
Re: Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.
Moved things around and was able to get things fitting much better. Moved front bumper ahead slightly, lower ride height and got the sleeper where it is supposed to be. Really liking these body parts.

Re: Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.
Here's a piss poor update! The Red Transmission is gone, I went with this transmission instead, wider planetary with 15:1 first gear and 10:1 second gear. The red one was 16:1 and 4:1, I doubt I ever need a 4:1 second gear.

Still thinking about one of Steve's work truck bumpers but not sure if I can get these meats to clear it. I didn't get the hitch on perfectly straight so more than likely this bumper is not staying anyways. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psoe0pynsx.jpg http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0eysi0wn.jpg Waiting on more parts! |
Re: Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.
I was really thinking about getting that grill setup but went with just the grill option again. I like the sqaure lights better. But your rig is coming together very nicely I will say.
