Default Re: Peterbilt 6x6 Medium Hauler

Trimmed the floorboard to accommodate the higher transmission location.


Had to remove the seat mounting holes and will need to trim the seat mounts, but no biggie. I'll just glue them in when the time comes.


Intrudes into the cabin, but if it's visible when the build is done I may just fab up a new floor to hide it.


While test-fitting the body I noticed an issue. One of the reinforcing plates I added for the hood sides is interfering with the floor. I could've (and should've) Dremeled away some of the floor, but why not risk screwing up and having to do some more bodywork instead? LOL!


Fortunately, I am one with my Dremel and no harm was done while making adequate clearance.


And the Axial trans has now been "extensively modified" to be a transfer case!
