Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
ok here is my new challenge.....
floor. http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09485.jpg floor in cab perfect. http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09486.jpg floor on frame stock KH tranny NOt soo muchh.. http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09487.jpg Floor up cab happy, tranny happy, but electronics not happy.. http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09490.jpg move tranny backwards, cab is very happy..electronics very happy..Headache rack? not happy... http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09492.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09494.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09495.jpg I need help guys, anyone know a good tranny I could use that will go absolutely below the rails? I could cut the floor n make the stock tranny work, but then that means the battery tray will be of no use and everything is gonna be flying around inside there not cool if anyone knwos a good tranny alternative please let me know :) thank you in advance :) |
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
You can run a R2 I run them in my trucks that dont have much room in them. or the buyer could switch to lipo and have plenty of room..
|
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
Here I set it al little higher then i needed too but you can mount it lower.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...wboy/007-7.jpg |
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
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.

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
coool thanks guys I'll give it a shot :)

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
ok guys welp took some advice :) cut down the floor n flipped, works like a charm :)
http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09512.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09515.jpg 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! http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09517.jpg and here is what she looks like with a trailer! http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09513.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09514.jpg http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/DSC09516.jpg more to come soon :) |

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
Welp first light installed now :) as you guys can see the body isnt that smooth right now as well,

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
That freight shaker is looking good, but what's the other chassis for? Keep up the nice looking cab over build.
|
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
the other chasis heheheheh it will be another freightliner, the one Reeve's trucking all started with :) another challenge for me! :)
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...s/DSCN1330.jpg 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 :) |
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
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.

Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
Looking great man keep up the good work..
|
Re: 2000 Freightliner COE
thanks guys :) and yea I love old COE's I think of all the freighliners are probably my very favorites :) hence y I started this build in the first place LOL I didnt know some1 would want to buy it and turn it into a different truck :) hehe which means I willl build another one for myself once I am finished LOL
my original plan was to build it a the wrecker from terminator 2 :) that black one from the chase :) from here :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msdCQ...eature=related but this is greatttt I just love the freighliners overall :) and I'm glad everyone appreciates all the hard work n details I put into this build to make it look exactly like the 1:1 :) |
