I would say keep the frame at its current length. Body work is looking good!

Default Re: 2000 Freightliner COE

ok here is my new challenge.....

floor.


floor in cab perfect.


floor on frame stock KH tranny NOt soo muchh..


Floor up cab happy, tranny happy, but electronics not happy..


move tranny backwards, cab is very happy..electronics very happy..Headache rack? not happy...







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

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..
