Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
     I must say, I have a new found respect for those of you who have mounted a CAT motor in your rig - it takes serious TIME to get it in there and square and mounted.   I used the front bolts of the cab mount to anchor the rear motor mounts.  I had to take just a little out of the front bumper mount:  Super Long Daycab anyone?   I had this daycab body laying around and I used it to check the depth of the CAT motor.   Next step is to mount the servos for the steering & trans...

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
I got the truck driving under its own power - got the servos both in and working well:
  No real updates on the body - I haven't done any additional body work or sanding! but I did get the rear boxes mounted and drilled and I got the fuel tanks flipped and mounted also:    Going to have to space the battery boxes and fuel tanks down to open up some room for the light bars! Even after that, I don't know if I'll have enough room to open the boxes:  Next steps are to mount the stacks and section and mount the battery boxes... mount the fifth wheel and get some body work done!

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
Wow, Awesome Rig Rod!
You have so much room it would cool to feed the f-350 trans with another semi 3 speed so, you would have a 6 speed...a super low 1st gear would be nice when maneuvering that thing.

Re: 170" Super Stretch King Hauler
One unique piece of machinery. Makes me wanna ad a CAT engine. With the white paint, that engine really looks good in there. This thing is flawless. Great job Rod!!
