Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.

[Claus]

Still unsure if I'm going to be using a Tamiya, Shapeways or Wedico cab I have not bought any of them yet. I was trying to do some test fitting without out a cab which makes no sense at all but anyways... I moved my front axle one mounting hole in the spring pack and set the hood over the wheels. I mounted a stock Tamiya floorboard in the stock location. The hood is up against the floorboard and the grille is just slightly in front of the bumper mount. Can anybody tell me when you cut the hood of a King Hauler cab is the cut and the floorboard flush with each other or does the cab stick out past the floorboard?

I have been trying to use stock bolt hols and not do anymore drilling than necessary, (trying to keep things clean and simple) but looks like stock hole are probably not going to work.

This is exactly what I need to know, thank you Russ. Hard to tell where the cab is going to sit with this hood not actually having a cab to play with. I bought a second set of the flat springs and Espeefan chucked them ip in his mill and moved the axle mounting holes one hole forward (hope to get them this weekend). I noticed you did the exact thing here but you used custom rails where i am trying to stick with stock rails and stock mounting holes. We'll see if it works out.
