kenworth k-100 cabover moving truck and trailer

[1985 kenworth]

had to drill and tap the frame to install the fuel tanks and battery holder from the knight hauler because when the drome box is installed behind the cab there will be no access to the inside battery compartment

[1985 kenworth]

had to notch the battery holder because of the angle of the driveshaft

[1985 kenworth]

drilled and tapped the frame so the base for the cab is installed and ready for the mfu components

awsome prgress so far! i love the idea of using the haulers battery box to relocate it. And yes for adding more pics i just open 2 windows, one with photobucket and one for the forum, copy/paste. just hit enter to drop down to the next line, or type your text for that photo hit enter anc paste the next photo.. im gonna watch this build!! I love cabovers but i love the moving trucks. I got plans for one from united van lines thats got a crazy stretched sleeper and boxes.. but that build is a ways off yet. Cant wait to see more!!

I like the stretched frame, that's going to look sharp when it's done.

This one


Sorry Not trying to hijack your thread..

The box you have your MFU controls in, is that the hauler steps? I am looking for a way to mount mine without it sitting on top of my frame.

[1985 kenworth]

yes its the king hauler steps .i was going to use the fuel tanks and battery box from the aeromax and mount the mfu switch in the bottom of the aeromax fuel tank which is where it mounts when you build that truck but i like the chrome ones from the knight hauler much better

[1985 kenworth]

as for the paint not sure which scheme i will be usiing but i do have the colours picked already i am thinking of using

[hippy]

sweet! i like this one on pro trucker mag, its the original colors for UVL.

here is the frame for the drome box .i used the top and bottom rails from the tamiya box trailer and the doors.normally drome boxes open only on the right side for curbside loading but i an=m putting one door on both sides because you never know which side of the street you will need to park on.now to add the panels then off to the paint shop

[civic83]

looks great buddy! hopefully ill be able to do up a nice trailer for you soon!

[1985 kenworth]

drome box finished and finally adding some colour to the truck as you can see from the paint masking tape

[hippy]

looking sharp!
