2000 Freightliner COE

[tc1cat]

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.

coool thanks guys I'll give it a shot

[skl1cent]

ok guys welp took some advice cut down the floor n flipped, works like a charm





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!



and here is what she looks like with a trailer!






more to come soon

I noticed the gap was too big btween the little air intake and the grill top so I raised it up much bettter now

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

[skl1cent]

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


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

[BRICKNICK]

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.

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

here is the chain rack im putting together, Still needs detailing and skinning but its taking shape









I need to get the rack over the tranny will do do by adding height to the rack as the real one has
its got a pretty thick floor.
