Re: 79 freightshaker COE
This will be a great build!
Ya gotta move that steer axle (and wheel well) up snug to the bumper, tho... I've always liked the "cheekbones" on the cab front, and the way up high battleship windshields of the Freightliner. I don't know why Tamiya located the steer axle where they did, it's not forward enough for most cabovers or conventionals, and not far enough back for set back axle conventionals or JB Hunt type cabovers. That cutout in the cab for the air intake reminds me of the old "Overdrive" magazine, where they complained mightily about the "Redwood Tree" taking up sleeper cab space... I don't know if Freightliner ever changed the design.
