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 :)

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.

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!

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
 

That freight shaker is looking good, but what's the other chassis for? Keep up the nice looking cab over build.

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
 

the other chasis heheheheh it will be another freightliner, the one Reeve's trucking all started with :) another challenge for me! :)

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...s/DSCN1330.jpg
these trucks will be awesomeeeeeeee!! i cant wait to get onto that 79 :) it'll be great :) as u see how much attention I already pay to detail LOL both of these trucks will be top notch :) im getting better n better at this :)

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
 

I'm a huge fan of the old cab overs such as the 70-85 k100s, Pete 350 + 352, freightliners. Can't wait to see the 79.

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
 

Looking great man keep up the good work..

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
 

thanks guys :) and yea I love old COE's I think of all the freighliners are probably my very favorites :) hence y I started this build in the first place LOL I didnt know some1 would want to buy it and turn it into a different truck :) hehe which means I willl build another one for myself once I am finished LOL

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

from here :)
